 * Hi,
 * I am buildinig a new FAQ page and I want to use the search function. After entering
   a search word, all correct FAQs will be displayed.
    After deleting the characters
   in the search field, all FAQs are displayed twice. Once as search result and 
   once as it is without the search function.
 * How can fix this issue?
 * Thank you!

 * Hi wpuser199,
 * Just like we mentioned in our FAQ’s on wordpress, you can add the attribute “
   show_on_load” to the shortcode, and set it to “Yes” to display all FAQs when 
   the page first loads. That way you only need to use the search shortcode.
    You
   can copy the shortcode given below:
 *     ```
       [ultimate-faq-search show_on_load='Yes']
       ```

 * Dear EtoileWebDesign,
 * thank you for your fast reply. Now, it works! My mistake was that I diplayed 
   the search [ultimate-faq-search] and the categories [ultimate-faqs include_category
   =“a,b”].
    After adding the show-on-load parameter and removing the category line,
   everything works fine.
 * Thank you for your help!
