 * I have a search widget installed and want to output a simple line of text with
   two possible variations on the search results page. The text varies depending
   on the search form inputs.
    I have tried the following code (in my page template
   file) but with no success.
 *     ```
       <?php
       if($_GET['easelSearch']=="?idx=Books&kw" || $_GET['easelSearch']=="?idx=KindleStore&kw"){
         echo "<h5>Click on book’s title for individual item’s details, or on image for full product information on the Amazon website.</h5>";
       } elseif ($GET['easelSearch']=="?idx=All&item"){
         echo "<h5>Click on image for full product information on the Amazon website</h5><hr>";
       }
       ?>
       ```
   
 * Actually, I have no idea if I’m even close to getting this right.

 * Hey thanks Rajan, I got it sorted now. I used the following code:
 *     ```
       <?php
       if($_GET['idx']=="Books" || $_GET['idx']=="KindleStore"){
         echo "<h5>Click on book’s title for individual item’s details, or on image for full product information on the Amazon website.</h5><hr>";
       } elseif ($_GET['idx']=="All"){
         echo "<h5>Click on image for full product information on the Amazon website</h5><hr>";
       }
       ?>
       ```
