Request for Leo - (Network) Search result page design

(1/4) > >>

I showed my wife how awesome Symbiostock is by performing random searches from my Symbiostock web site.

Everything was fine and dandy as long as some of my images were displayed along with the network's search results below but when one search returned none of my images and just displayed the categories of my site it was not apparent to her that the network results below my categories were available.

My screen resolution (1920x1080) resulted in, what appeared, no search results. If a potential buyer doesn't pay attention to the scroll bar on the right and notices that he/she can scroll down to see the network's results.

Is there a way either to reduce/remove the categories on the search results if there are NO matches on my site, so it es easier to notice that the network results appear right underneath?

I hope I could express myself properly about the issue I'm trying to explain.

Feel free to ask any questions if anything is unclear. Thanks.

I know exactly what you mean.  I keep trying to change the wording at the top of the category list when nothing is found to let potential customers know to scroll down and check below the categories, but not yet found the right place - strange how the site goes all white when you get it wrong  - if you find it please let me know  :)

I'm working on a plugin right now (another thread) which may be able to tweak this.

So basically when you guys ask for tweaks, I'll simply post some code and you paste it into the "genetics lab" and you may have a fix. I'll have to see it case-by-case though - some on-page stuff might not be over-ride able. I'll get back to you soon though.

edit- thats the first time i've used so many dashes in one sentence

I'm by far no Wordpress whizz so talking about plugins together with "genetics lab" just leave me with a big question mark over my head but I'm sure you got it all figured out.

I was thinking to "just" implement an "on" and "off" button in the admin panel to turn the categories on the search results page on or off.

I don't know if that makes any sense.

Genetics lab -  a bit like a child theme  css page but for php?
