NoSearch

Your example got chewed up. Repost without < and >?

ok,sorry, here goes:

mt:NoSearchResults

and

mt:NoSearch

Thankyou for the answer Mike, is it possible to repair or delete this lines? or I need to wait until next version?

You can actually use the <mt:if>, <mt:else>, <elseif> and <mt:unless> conditional tags to get this to work.

Basically, you run <mt:if> to test whether the <mt:searchstring> evaluates to an empty string, i.e., whether it has a single alphanumeric character in it. You’d do this by using a regular expression in <mt:if>, so:

The logic is this:

1. If the search string has some term in it, then:
   1. show the results if any are found; or
   2. show no results found for that string;
2. If the search string does not have a search term at all (the string is empty), fire the <mt:nosearch> code chunk.

Finally, if <mt:searchresultcount> evaluates to zero (there are no search results; which is true whenever nothing is found and also when nothing is specified to find), display instructions.

Example:

<mt:if tag="searchstring" like="/\w/">

<MTSearchResults>
    <MTBlogResultHeader>
        <MTIfTagSearch>
            <h2>Results for: <mt:searchstring></h2>
        </MTIfTagSearch>
        <MTIfStraightSearch>
            <h2>Search Results for: <mt:searchstring></h2>
        </MTIfStraightSearch>
    </MTBlogResultHeader>
    <ul>
        <li>
            <b><a href="<MT:EntryPermalink>" title="<MT:EntryTitle>"><mt:EntryTitle></a></b><br />
            <mt:Entrybody />
        </li>
    </ul>
</MTSearchResults>

<MTNoSearchResults>
    <h2>Searched for <mt:searchstring></h2>
    <p>No entries were found containing <mt:searchstring></p>
</MTNoSearchResults>

<mt:else>

<MTNoSearch>
    <h2>Nothing to search!</h2>
    <p>You didn't say what you're looking for. Perhaps you need to find yourself first?</p>
</MTNoSearch>
</mt:else>
</mt:if>

<mt:if tag="searchresultcount" eq="0">
    <h3>Instructions</h3>
    <p>By default, this search engine looks for all words in any order. To search for an exact phrase, enclose the phrase in quotes:</p>

    <blockquote>
        "<code>movable type</code>"
    </blockquote>

    <p>The search engine also supports <code><b>AND</b></code>, <code><b>OR</b></code>, and <code><b>NOT</b></code> keywords to specify boolean expressions:</p>

    <blockquote>
        <code>publishing <b>OR</b> personal</code>
    </blockquote>

    <blockquote><code>publishing <b>NOT</b> dynamic</code></blockquote>
</mt:if>

Hello Gautam, Thankyou for answer.
I tried to apply the code, without luck, the same message appears...

I would like to paste the SearchResults template adapted here, but I don´t know why the code is not shown properly

maybe I could send you a file by email...

regards
