Try this link.

Is it relevant that the search results output is on a different page?

You should have mentioned that first. YES - thats why the problem occurs.

Please try following code:

[wpv-conditional if="( '[wpv-search-term param='wpv_post_search']' eq '' ) AND ( '[wpv-search-term param='wpv_filter_submit']' ne '' )"]
 [wpml-string context="wpv-views"]You must enter a search code.[/wpml-string]
[/wpv-conditional]

Now - it must be FIXED 🙂 - waiting for your confirmation 🙂

Bingo!
Fantastic work.

Thanks for all your support on this.
I don't think I would have solved it alone.

You can close the ticket. 😉

I need to open this ticket again.

There is a problem with the query when used on a WPML site.
As per my original post, I DON'T want to show any records unless there is an exact match for the shipping code.

HOWEVER, in it's current form, the filter can be circumvented by "toggling" between language versions.

Is it necessary to duplicate the view and use a different view code for each language version?
Seems a bit redundant if it is.
