Searching with no results
When you do a search and nothing is found, the search string does not show up anymore in the appropriate input field.

I think it would be more user-friendly, if the search string that gives no result is kept in the input field (I am not refering to the one at the bottom, but to the one on the actual search page), so that the user can modify the search string if he/she wants to.

Oh yes, and maybe you could change the wording from Your search did not return any results to Your search for %search_string% did not return any results.

This issue has already been reported a number of times in the GT Forum related forums, and GT still has not addressed it.

Quick fix: in the template include_search_form.html replace

Code:
<input type="text" name="search_string" class="button" size="40">
with

Code:
<input type="text" name="search_string" class="button" size="40" value="<%search_string%>">

Will this be fixed for the final release?

Uhhh, maybe not such a good idea after all. When I just display the search form, I get "unknown tag "search_string" ".

Other solutions are needed I guess.

You can always do:

<%if search_string%><%search_string%><%endif%>
