I would like to display the actual search string (%%keywords%%) in the title tag of the search results page.

For example, when somebody searches for “bla bla bla”, the title of the search results page will be “Search results for: bla bla bla”.

Anybody has (or can suggest) a hack for this?

Thanks!

scrap that sorry.  thought you were talking about EE.

I am sure some clever programmer can find a way (Chris already showed how to grab category names. There must be a solution for search terms, too)!

The reason this is important to me is because I am using pre-defined search URLs instead of categories. This allows me to have as many sub-categories as I want and file posts under more than one (sub)category. Total freedom!

At the same time, I would like to gain better rankings in the search engines for my (sub)category pages and the title tag is the most important thing to have your keywords in. So, if I could get my keywords (the actual search phrase) in the title tag, my search engine rankings would improve as a result.

Anybody has an idea?

What do your URLs look like?  You might be able to pull the search terms for display from there.

Here’s how the URLs look like:

http://www.domain-name.com/page.php?keywords=keyword1+keyword2+keyword3

Try something like:

So simple, so elegant… and it works (alghouth only on the first page of search results, not on the subsequent ones, but that’s all I need, anyway)! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I suppose the same could be used in other places on the page, too (e.g. the PREV-NEXT navigation)?

Thank you, Chris, again!
