To get "Your search for <%query%> returned <%cat_hits%> and <%link_hits%>!" to be more aesthetically pleasing, use the following tags in search_ results.html

<small>Your search for<b> <%query%> </b>returned
<%if cat_hits%>
<strong><%cat_hits%></strong> Categories and
<%endif%>

<%if link_hits%>
<strong><%link_hits%></strong> Link(s).</small>
<%endif%>

This prevents something like this showing..
Your search for music returned 0 Categories and 1 link!

..it will just show (if there are no Category hits)...
Your search for music returned1 link(s)!

Building on that...you can also use criteria expressions for the correct grammar....

Ahhhh thanks for that....I had been trying to figure out how to get the correct grammar for ages but had no luck!

I was trying to use this

<% if cat_hits && link_hits%>
bla bla
<%endif%>

Anyway..you cleared that up...thanks!

And...

You can add a IFNOT statement so that you can also have a resonse if there are NO hits!

I LOVE all the possibilities!

Thats what I have done on my category pages....

<if link_results%>
<%link_results%>
<%endif%>
<%ifnot link_results%>
There are no links in this category yet so why not change this by adding a resource!
<%endif%>

...you can use that theory on all pages like whats cool, whats new etc..to display messages if there are no results!
