# Suppression of blank search queries Many visitors to web shops simply click the Search button without entering anything in the search field. Instead of launching a search query, the visitor should receive a message explaining that a search term should be entered in the text box. For example, you could display an information message with the corresponding explanation while simultaneously switching the focus to the search box. This will avoid blank queries (or searches using the default search term) and reduce annoyance for your users. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.fact-finder.com/integration/factfinder-search-integration/suppression-of-blank-search-queries.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
