Display number of results in search page on WordPress

[hoangvu]

When a visitor made a search in wordpress it does not return the number of results found. Of course in many cases it is very useful one know how much the results are followed the way to achieve it.

Simply locate the file search.php and in this we are looking for the following line of code:

<h2> Search Results </ h2>

Replace it with the following code

<h2> Search Results for <? php  
  / * Search Count * /  
  $ Allsearch = & new WP_Query ("s = $ s & showposts = -1");  
  $ Key = wp_specialchars ($ s, 1);  
  $ Count = $ allsearch-> post_count; _e ('');  
  _e ('<span>');  
  echo $ key; _e ('</ span>'); _e ('-');  
  echo $ count.  ''; _e ('Articles');  

  wp_reset_query ();?> </ h2>

Hope it's helpful to you!
