Solved - Handling Error: You did not submit a search term
How Do I?
I’m looking for some help on handling this error: You did not submit a search term specifically when a user submits a search form without a keyword in the input field.
Note that the form with a keyword works fine.. I am able to redirect for no_results and if a result is found, so I know the form works. I am looking for a way to handle the error if a user inadvertently hits enter or clicks the search button without entering anything in the input field.
What I would like to do is to redirect to the same place the user ends up if there are no results so that the error code is branded to match the rest of the site.
Rayln, when using the native search add-on you’ll need to create a custom system message template to handle this error that you are getting. Here’s more info from the docs: https://docs.expressionengine.com/latest/control-panel/template-manager.html#system-message-templates
Perfect! I missed this in the documentation. Thank you!
If the default error page is being displayed by EE instead of allowing redirects via templates, you could try catching empty queries in your .htaccess file Block Blast Solver
