Retrieve Search Field Text and Display

[srinehart]

Hello!

Is there a string in php that I can use to retrieve what my customer searched for if the item isn’t available?

For example: No products that match 1235abc are available.

Thank you!

Hi Samantha,

Well, this is possible, but only with a customization to one of the plugin files:

1. Make sure to have a back-up.
2. Open up the wp-content\plugins\ajax-search-pro\includes\views\results\no-results.php file on your server via FTP
3. Change it’s contents to this: https://goo.gl/NJXkVk
4. Save the file.

Line 30 in this file contains what is printed, there is the search phrase included as well, variable named $_POST[‘aspp’]. I have added escaping measures as well for maximum security, before it is printed.
