# Display a default location

**Display a default location when matching search results for your visitor cannot be found.**

When a search yields no location(s), MetaLocator default behavior is to display the message "No results found for your search."

Our customers have shown interest in displaying a location when there are none that fit a searcher's criteria. We've made it easy to give your visitors a location even when their search might not be wide enough. To configure your interface to behave in this manner, follow these few steps:

1. Identify the location, and note the MetaLocator ID# you wish for your customers to see when their search returns nothing.
