Item883: Make the SEARCH zeroresults parameter a format string

Priority:	CurrentState:	AppliesTo:	Component:	WaitingFor:
Enhancement	Closed	Engine	SEARCH FORMAT

%SEARCH{
    web="System"
   "SvenThinksThereShouldBeNoSuchTopic"
    nototal="on" 
    zeroresults="on" 
}%

from VarSEARCH

zeroresults="off"	Suppress all output if there are no hits	zeroresults="on", displays: "Number of topics: 0"
nototal="on"	Do not show number of topics found	Show number

While the docco is totally vague about what happens when you combine the 2 :/

So I'm thinking that we can take the oportunity to turn zeroresults into a format field too

ie,

• zeroresults="$count results found" would work..
• zeroresults="off" would show nothing as now
• zeroresults="on" would show the total when = 0 independently of =nototal

(basically, it would be better if zeroresults could be used to optionally over-ride nonoise when otherwise you just get a blank page.)
