{exp:search:simple_form
channel="channel-1"
result_page="search/results"
no_result_page="search/no_results"
search_in="everywhere"}

<input type=“text” name=“keywords” id=“keywords” value=“Search” size=“18” maxlength=“100” />
<input type=“submit” tabindex=“1” name=“search-submit” id=“search-submit” value=”” />

{/exp:search:simple_form}

Can anyone tell me why, when there are no results, is a User Message being displayed rather than the search/no_results template?

Hi ip,

Can I confirm what you mean please?
Do you mean the native No results user message template is being displayed and not a custom template you created inside the search template group?

If you visit the search/no_results in your browser does it render?

Have you got a live link to where this is happening?

Hi,

yes, that’s it, the user message template is being displayed rather than the search/no_results template.

I’ve just pinned it down, the no_search template included a snippet that had some PHP in it. I assume that the PHP causes an error, which then displays a user message.

I think the error message could be a bit more helpful though:
‘Error Search Results’!
or is there some way to view details of errors like this?

Morning ip.  I’m still a little fuzzy on what’s happening and what error message is being displayed.  Can you screen cap what you’re seeing- or link to a page where I can test it out?  (I searched the code for ‘Error Search Results’ and I’m not spotting it, so think I need a clearer image of what’s going on.)
