I sort of got it to work as outlined above. Just unchecking “Display the “Choose one/Any option?” box fixed the issue of showing everything, but I had to include the main target category as the first category term for the drop down boxes, or it wen to the first item.
Sorry for the delay in response. Got pulled into other projects. The page in question is just a regular page withe the search shortcode on it. I’ll try playing with your suggestions and report back.
Thanks. The first. Need restricted to a specific category and provide a filter for additional/other categories.
The reason is that we will have other pages with filters, but unrestricted initial views.
Could an option/feature request be to add an option under Layout Options > Search Box Layout > Auto Populate to be Enabled – Results for a specific category (akin to Enabled – Results for a search phrase)? Then have a field to designate the category?
I guess the issues is that we have two sets of categories in play. One set, used for filters across the board and apply to all three schools (ie online, adult, undergraduate, graduate, etc). The second set is the three school categories (Arts & Sciences, Business, Nursing). I guess we could separate using tags instead of categories, but not sure if that would accomplish the same, or not.
I had that set as such, but at the onset, what is auto-displayed included everything. Only when I select a different option on the drop down menu, does it force the category filter. The only way I’ve been able to do a work around is by including the target category in the drop down menu, then changing from “Chose Any/one option” to As Defined and including the target category. With this, it now shows the target category in the drop down, which feels redundant and not desirable to display to the end user.
I set it that way for you to see on our Arts & Sciences page:
http://tst.lasalle.edu/programs/arts-and-sciences/We have three different schools. Our main program list page includes all majors, programs, etc from all three schools (there are different categories based on program type). On the Arts & Sciences program listing page above, we just want those programs associated with that school. I’m only able to do that if I use the As Defined option, but that means the default drop down option is “Arts & Sciences” which feels very redundant and doesn’t allow us to prompt the end user to select an option (ie displaying “Select One” by default).
Yep. Thanks a bunch. It was the Grammarly for Chrome extension. Disabled it and everything is working 100% Now I just have to figure out my CSS 🙂

Worked in Firefox, so there is something weird with my Chrome settings that is blocking. I will look. Any thoughts on what it might be?
I see that it saved for you. When I put it there, then clicked the “Saved this search!” button, it disappears. I just tried again by adding a simple CSS string: #randomid {color:red;}. When I clicked the button, it disappeared, but the code you put in saved. I’m also using Google Chrome on Windows. Could there be something else conflicting that is allowing you to save, but not me? I will try another browser.
