 * is there anyway a search using a space can be blocked?
 * it currently lists all of the data if the space bar is pushed and then search
   is clicked.
 * Thanks In Advance

 * You can use the “suppress” attribute to prevent the list from showing anything
   unless a search is performed. A single space is not considered a valid search.
 * `[pdb_list search=true suppress=true]`

 * Thank You so much
 * I added the supress to [pdb_list suppress=true template=responsive ]
 * It seems to have cured my small issue :0)
