  Hi, The search result page has an extra word that is not needed.

  When it finds nothing, it says: “Sorry, but nothing matched your search terms. Please try again with some different keywords.”

  How can I take out the word “some” because it is not needed?

  Thank you for your help.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  This is some that’s baked within WordPress as a part of the platform. I don’t think this can be customized by a WordPress.com user.

  If you are on a self-hosted WordPress (WordPress.org) site, I guess this could be done by editing the template files, which I think is possible with WordPress.com sites too using the Business plan.

  While I am not very sure about the answer, I suggest you to wait for other WordPress.com members’ replies here. Or, a WordPress.com Happiness Engineer might have a suggestion too. Thanks.

  Hi there – strikebuys is correct, it’s not possible to edit the wording there.

  Looks like you found a CSS workaround:

  .search-no-results .page-content p {
  	display: none;
  }
  
  .search-no-results .page-content:before {
  	content: "Sorry, but nothing matched your search terms. Please try again with different keywords.";
  }

  Good solution for those with access to custom CSS!
