Are you using AJAX searches? In other words, do the search results show up without completely reloading the page? Do you see the spinning “loading” indicator by the “Search” button? That should appear while the results are waiting to come in.
If you’re using AJAX searches and the loading indicator is not showing up, you should inspect the HTML to see if perhaps it’s getting hidden. Of you do see the loading indicator and want it to have the text message instead, it’s a little complicated, you’d need to edit the javascript to change the appearance of the loading indicator.

Hi apologies for late reply. I’m not sure if ajax or not. The search page is here http://equityoriel.org.uk/search/ if that helps!
OK I see. No, you’re not using ajax. What’s happening is the page load is bogging down largely due to many large (in file size) photos. An easy fix is to paginate the results by adding something like: list_limit=10 to your list shortcode.
The plugin does not handle images files such that small images are loaded as small files, the whole image file is loaded every time the image is shown.

Ok however some time ago you suggested it would have to be one long page of search results due to how we have set up the search function though I cant now recall the reason why. Possibly to do with the multilang-contact-form plugin? Or should I just give your suggestion a go and see?

The shortcode on the search page is -1 so I think that might be something to do with why we couldnt paginate?
[pdb_list search=true suppress=true template=multisearch filter=”approved=y” list_limit=-1 orderby=”equity_name” order=”asc”]<!–:–>
I tried just changing that from -1 to 10 but it seemed to have no effect.
Email me at support@xnau.com so I can follow up.
