How do I close the result panel when I haven't selected anything?

Hi,

Thank you for your kind words!

I’m afraid that is not possible via settings. You can try however a custom code. Try adding this code to the functions.php file in your theme/child theme directory – make sure to have a full server back-up first for safety. For more details you can check the safe coding guidelines.

add_action('wp_footer', 'asp_add_footer_script', 9999);
function asp_add_footer_script() {
	?>
	<script>
	(function($){
		$(".asp_main_container").on("asp_search_start", function(event, id, instance, phrase) {
			let search = ASP.instances.get(id, instance);
			setTimeout(function(){
				if ( phrase == '' && search.filtersInitial() ) {
					search.searchAbort();
					search.hideLoader();
					search.hideResults();
				}
			}, 20);
		});
	}(WPD.dom));
	</script>
	<?php
}
