DamienMcKennaYou would have to write some custom tokens that could (somehow) sniff the search results, and then add them to a per-path definition.

We are using custom search search service. We created a panel page to for search which contains custom search form and results ctools content type. Results pane take parameters from query string, send request to services and render results, here I need to check results count and alter meta description.

DamienMcKennaThe by-path settings are just slightly customized Context definitions, and you could extend the by-path settings by using the main Context UI to add more conditions as needed - I believe there's a condition that will let you filter on the query string.

DamienMcKennaI'm not sure there's really a good way of doing this using Drupal's internal Search module, there isn't an obvious way to find out how many results there are without trying e.g. hook_preprocess_page to customize the meta tags based on the output of the page's content.

DamienMcKennaAlso, I'm sorry for not getting the point of your problem until now, but now that I understand what you're trying to do I do see it being tricky to work out.
