Add "random/you may like" on empty search result?

[Yikmings]

Hi,

I found my client's website getting a lot of "soft 404" on some empty search result pages. Is that any way to add "random/you may like" video list on empty search result? Make it seo friendly.

Thanks

Yes, this is possible. You need to go to Website UI -> Pages -> Search Content page and edit its template. Where you have this line:

{{$videos_list_result|smarty:nodefaults}}

You can wrap it with the following construct:

{{if $storage.list_videos_videos_list_search_result.total_count>0}}
	{{$videos_list_result|smarty:nodefaults}}
{{else}}
	{{insert name="getBlock" block_id="list_videos" block_name="Recommended Videos"}}
{{/if}}

Then it will create an additional Recommended Videos block on this page and you can configure its template and parameters to display the list of videos that you need for empty search results.

Thanks. List sorting already build-ed in 2 random methods. 😀
