En este tutorial vamos a compartir cómo se puede añadir una función simple en su página de búsqueda que mostrará el término de búsqueda y el número de resultados. Esta característica fue una petición especial de uno de nuestros usuarios a través de correo electrónico. Si quieres que tratemos algún debate, no dudes en hacernos una sugerencia.
Abre tu archivo search.php en tu tema y añade el siguiente código:
<h2 class="pagetitle">Search Result for <?php /* Search Count */ $allsearch = new WP_Query("s=$s&showposts=-1"); $key = wp_specialchars($s, 1); $count = $allsearch->post_count; _e(''); _e('<span class="search-terms">'); echo $key; _e('</span>'); _e(' — '); echo $count . ' '; _e('articles'); wp_reset_query(); ?></h2>
El código anterior mostrará algo como esto:
Resultado de la búsqueda de twitter – 15 artículos
También puedes resaltar el término de búsqueda añadiendo la clase CSS .search-terms a la hoja de estilos de tu tema. Aquí tienes un sencillo CSS para empezar:
.search-terms {
background-color:yellow;
color:blue;
}
Esta es sólo una de las cosas que puedes hacer para personalizar tu página de búsqueda. También puede resaltar los términos de búsqueda en los resultados, e incluso añadir una característica de búsqueda por categoría a su búsqueda de WordPress.

Can I use this code in the sidebar.php file? As I need to show the search term and result count in the sidebar. Please help.
Marco says
thanks a lot for this snippet!
according to the wp codex the function wp_specialchars is deprecated. it says that you should use esc_html instead.
regards,
marco

Next time I take a close look to the comments. CHADHAYTON already posted a link how you can handle it now.
Henry says
echo $wp_query->found_posts;
Adding this to the top of your search page will display the number of posts found for a particular search.
echo get_search_query();
This will display the search term (entered in to the search box by your site visitor).
timer_stop(1);
This will display the time it took to run the search.
All together you could output something like:
Your search for “coffee beans” returned “16” posts in “0.87” seconds.

It is hard to tell how old this post is, but WordPress 3.1 includes a way to get the total search results that doesn’t require a separate query:

Chris Murphy says
Wow. It’s a lot simpler than that to count WordPress’ search results, here:
global $wp_query; $count = sizeof( $wp_query->posts ); echo"<pre>"; //var_dump($wp_query);// The WP Query Object var_dump($wp_query->posts); // The WP Query Object's 'posts' property (note the plural) echo"</pre>";If you drop that snippet in your search template, it will output the properties of the ‘$wp_query’ variable, specifically the ‘posts’ property of the object. This is an array that stores a collection of the returned posts from the search query, which you can do a number of things with once you access it, including (*drumroll*), *count* the number of posts in that array using either PHP’s ‘count()’ or ‘sizeof()’ functio

Your code is cut off a little. Is there a way that you can email us the snippet and we can try it and write about it. Obviously full credit will be given to you.

Chris,
This won’t work. The point is to find out the total number of results matching the query — not the number currently fetched. If there are more results than “fits” within a page, your code will only get number of elements on a page.
pete says
Search results are a personal thing from a user so it’s good if they are given lots of info for them.
basilakis says
So the code is right or not?
I see Konstantin has some point about the query, but the comments “ate” the results!
Editorial Staff says
This code is correct. It works, the only issue he is pointing out is that it can be done differently as well. We have used this code on a client’s website and it works.

Konstantin says
Good idea. Bad execution.
Why in the world would you want to translate a span tag???
And my favorite:
_e('');Huh??Why would you want to query the same search twice?
Doesn’t make sense at all.
But I don’t want to hate, this is how it should be done (in my humble opinion):
post_count); ?>
Tom says
I really don’t give my on page search enough thought. Something like this is great because it makes the page more personalised.
