Password : xdkKrnvRkct@12

We want to know how we can add below feature from plugin functionality on search result page
– We want to add Result type filter on search listing page. Like On search listing page how many Products, Blogs, Vidoes etc.. and user can filter particular items on this search list page. Like as per attached screenshot
– How can we add sort option on search listing page.

Here, we just want to know how can we configure above mentioned functionality from backend.

Thanks.

Hi,

I believe you are looking for the front-end filters section here.

In your case I would suggest creating a sidebar and placing the search and the settings shortcodes there. You can also pair it with the results page live loader feature, so when you change the filters the results page reloads on the fly as well.
Unfortunately front-end sorting options are not available yet.

Hello,

Thanks for your response. Please find below my update.
https://www.update.loislee.nl/?s=magic&asp_active=1&p_asid=2&p_asp_data=1&customset%5B%5D=post&customset%5B%5D=product&filters_initial=1&filters_changed=0&wpml_lang=nl&qtranslate_lang=0&woo_currency=EUR&current_page_id=82610

This is our search result page and we want here sidebar with result type Like post type (Product, Blog etc..) checkbox. So if user tick on “Product” checkbox then search result page will display only products from search result.

From your response, we are not able to know which shortcode we need to use for such things. Please let us know if you require backend details to setup it up.

Thanks.

Hello Support Team,

Thanks.

I’m sorry for the late response.

I would suggest using the regular search shortcode, and also setting the search settings drop-down to visible and block by default.
Make sure to also check out the search settings documentation on how to create specific filters.

Hello Support,

We have followed steps you given but it is showing result type on main search bar like as per attached screenshot.

But we want Result type search bar on search listing page here : https://www.update.loislee.nl/?s=magic&asp_active=1&p_asid=2&p_asp_data=1&customset%5B%5D=post&customset%5B%5D=product&filters_initial=1&filters_changed=0&wpml_lang=nl&qtranslate_lang=0&woo_currency=EUR&current_page_id=-1

So please note : This search filter result type need to be on search listing page so please guide us accordingly (not on main search box).

[Ernest Marcinko]

Oh okay, I see.

In that case I suggest rather creating another search instance as well (you can duplicate the first one for ease of use) to have some separation. On the header search remove the settings as you don’t need that.

Then place the second search bar into a sidebar position on the results page. Check the theme builder/editor if it offers any sidebar widgets, usually modern themes allow adding another column where you can put any shortcode or widget and place the second search shortcode there.

This way you will have the header search separately configured and they will not conflict.

Hello Ernest,

We have duplicated search instance and keep our settings for that search instance and removed our settings from header search instance. You can see it here : https://www.update.loislee.nl/?s=magic&asp_active=1&p_asid=2&p_asp_data=1&filters_initial=1&filters_changed=0&wpml_lang=nl&qtranslate_lang=0&woo_currency=EUR&current_page_id=82610

But our problem is bit different. in above link you can see when we unchecked “Posts” from search box then result of only products will display in search box itself. while we want result of products need to be updated in our search result.

For example : screenshot-1.png : We want like this way. when we uncheck “Posts” then our search result should update with only with Products in result listing.

and screenshot-2.png : Currently it is updating result in search box it self which we do not want.

So please guide us accordingly so that our website search result get updated based on result type selected and not search box show those result.

I see, then you are looking for this feature.

Based on your exact page structure, this is the configuration that may work: https://i.imgur.com/xPkKgIx.png
For the DOM selector use: #posts-container

Hello Support Team,

Thanks for the help and update. One more query
https://www.update.loislee.nl/?s=magic&asp_active=1&p_asid=2&p_asp_data=1&filters_initial=1&filters_changed=0&wpml_lang=nl&qtranslate_lang=0&woo_currency=EUR&current_page_id=103307

On this page left sidebar, we are displaying Result Type and there will be Products & Posts with checkbox. Can we display count of particular Products or Posts there? Please find attached screenshot

[Ernest Marcinko]

You are welcome!

I’m afraid that is not possible, I’m sorry.
