Display Message When Repeater Search Returns No Results

Learn how to display a message for your website users when a search or dynamic filters acting on a repeater returns no results, using Corvid (a.k.a. Wix Code). 

​This example assumes you have already set up a repeater which can be dynamically filtered or searched in some way - if not, please see our code on filtering repeaters. The repeater in this example uses data from the #dbEmployee database and uses a text input field for keyword searches (#iptSearch) and a dropbox filtering department options (#iptDepartment1). Try the example below by searching for a name not listed in the table e.g. Sally, or by selecting a department not listed in the table e.g. Marketing.

Try it!

#iptSearch

#iptDepartment1

First Name

Last Name

Department

The resultsCheck function determines how many rows are retrieved after the filter is completed. If no results are returned, a text element called #txtNoResults is displayed with a message informing the user that the filter has returned no results. At the same time, the repeater is collapsed and hidden. If the filter does return results, then the #txtNoResults element is hidden while the repeater is revealed.
