You should be able to include a token in the file above the search box
area that is something like this:
<span class="errormessage">
<!--{msg}-->
</span>
Then an error message should appear if there are no results with
whatever font-size and color you have defined in your css class
"errrormessage.".
Take a look at the code on your srchhelp_Y or srchhelp_X files to see
what I am talking about.

Please help me troubleshoot this problem.... This may fall into the realm
of the obvious, but I'm stumped.
Our keyword search is set up as searchtype=Y from our mainmenu. No
problems, searches as it should. Except when something is typo'd. In any
of my other searches the system performs as the manual (#101171) says (e.g.
title search > goes to a spot in the index which says "your search term ...
would be here").
However keyword failure puts the user on a search screen with no additional
help -- doesn't say 'no results found' and its not our mainmenu screen -- I
haven't dug deep enough to figure out what screen its going to, but we
would like it to go to the spot in the index (like it reads in the manual)
or at a minimum at least to a screen where it tells the user that there
were no results found.
So any clues? How do I tell the system where to go when a search fails
(the only option I found in the user manual was the setting for switching
author names around)? How does the system know what action to take if a
search fails for a given header or index - why is it working for all except
for keyword?
As usual, thanks in advance!
