Ah, that fixed it up no problem!

I had an revelation while waking up this morning, and thought I’d like to try something new, which is exactly how amazon’s search bar functions:

while typing, I’d like for your autocomplete feature to show options below the search bar text input field. I’d like for these to be clickable to trigger a search.

This is just an idea for a test. I’m looking at my site from several angles before I launch, brainstorming how I can simplify things, and I think this idea would make sense.

I appreciate your patience.

Or, is it possible to use an accordion header with a checklist hidden underneath it?

an example would be (from my screen shot) Transaction options, town, categories, vendors, are headers that act as buttons. when clicked their respective checklist appears.

my screenshot is a picture of my Shop filter that has this exact functionality.

Great, thank you!

come to find out I had created custom CSS for that, after all.

Another thing:

The Frontend Search Settings dropdown filter setting is currently set to multiselect, and searchable and is an INCREDIBLE tool, but all of the overflow that fills the search box from multiple selections goes behind the next line.

Is there any way to either
A) make the box expand and push everything below it down when that particular filter searchbar input box expands?
B) put checkboxes on the dropdown list without automatically adding them to the searchbar input line?

I just noticed if I select multiple items from the dropdown, close the settings dropdown box, and then reopen the settings box then everything is sorted neatly without overlap. How can I set up the settings frontend to do this automatically, without refreshing?

I hope this makes sense.

thanks again!

Hello,

I’m not able to pinpoint how to change some minor spacing on the mobile ajax search bar. the if you look at the attachment theres excessive spacing underneath the header, under the search bar.

the issue is very minor on the desktop, but I’d also like to close those gaps as well.

I may be completely overlooking how to adjust these parameters.

Absolutely love this plugin.

thanks for the help

Hi!

Is there any way to hide Frontend Search Setting terms based off of what is selected?

I’ve attached a photo of my Frontend Settings for reference. (the Town, Categories, and Vendors all have drop down menus when you click their search bar)

An example would be: if the user were to select Goods, or Services, or any of the Town/Categories/Vendor selections on the Frontend Settings – then only the terms associated with shared products would remain.

EG – if you select Services, only the towns, categories, and vendors with metadata: Services would show.
EG – if you select a town from the drop down list, then only terms associated with that town would show in the Categories/Vendors selections, etc, etc

This way the user wouldn’t be selecting terms that kind of led nowhere.

I hope this makes sense!

Thanks!
Jon

Ha! My mistake. I’m still curious about this one:

Is there a way to set up the Advanced > Grouping Options to group a search result based off of a custom field (post or user meta) instead of taxonomies?

I appreciate your patience!

You can ignore the last two queries.
This plugin is badass, lol.

And, last time I created a custom field for post meta it didnt show up immediately in the frontend search settings, but now it is. Its been several days since I created the post meta, but I havent messed with any relevant search or meta settings since.

I just duplicated the custom fields and changed the names of them, and its not currently showing up in the front end search settings custom field selector.

Is this something that takes a while, or do you suppose there’s something to be toggled to make this new post meta show up?

Morning!

Ah, beautiful. Thank you

Ah, I was afraid I’d need to rely on custom coding. Not my wheelhouse. Thanks for the base code to start with! I’ll pass that on to the brave soul I hire to code for me.

One last question:

Before Ajax, I was using a search bar (search in place) on specific pages (FAQ, especially) that would only search the page the shortcode was placed on to, and it would just highlight all of the results on that page (ctrl+F for mobile, and old people).

If Ajax can be setup to do the same thing, I’d like to use Ajax for this purpose. Otherwise the issue is that Ajax overpowers the other plugin’s shortcode ( [search-in-place-form in_current_page=”1″] ). When Ajax is activated it the shortcode turns in to my [wd_asp id=1] ajax search bar. When Ajax is deactivated, the issue is resolved.

Baffles me!

Thanks again!

Jon
