Hi Kurt,

For a project a while back we did a "poor man's work" to develop all of the additional logic in the "No results" template. So we would additially search for something sumiting additional query string parameters (which would trigger additional query expressions in the Repository).

It's not perfect, as it triggered a redirect which was visible to the customer, but we made use of it by displaying a message like "No results so far... expanding your search!".

But I am sure somebody else will jump is and suggest the proper way to do it :)

Best Regards,

Nuno Aguiar

Hi Kurt

In DW8 there are at least 4 different searhes for products. ecomQuery, weighted search, Repositories, and the old Lucene implementation.

So first question is which one you happen to use? Next Q is what you want to achieve in the no results page - whats should happen?

BR Nicolai

If you just need a redirect, simply do it with javascript in the "Nothing found" part of your template.

Would a Server.Transfer work server-side when you detect there aren't any results?

It is the old-fashioned ecomQuery that is used, by giving the query in the querystring.

If no result is found, I need to search in other groups as well, and if a result is found, redirect to that page.

Or mayby it is the old Lucene index. It's a site we've got from another partner.

How do I see what kind of search is used?

How does the search look like? The URL and the setup of the paragraph with the catalog module?

Det er vist ecomQuery, kombineret med filter :)
