# Processing empty search TwentyTen

 * On my website (which uses a child theme of TwentyTen) when you submit an empty
   search box it takes you to a page that says nothing found however the navigation
   menu isn’t displayed but it does when you enter a search term (whether it finds
   anything or not). How do I change it so that if a person submits an empty search
   it either doesn’t do anything or takes them to a nothing found page with the 
   navigation menu displayed. If I am correct it is loop.php that needs editing 
   but I have tried different things based around my searches on the internet with
   no result please could someone help me with this problem?
 * Thanks
