Problem:

AJAX auto-update for Toolset View search filters (update results when inputs change) was not working on an archive page. The search worked only when using a Search button (non-AJAX submit), even though the View’s Custom Search settings and AJAX pagination settings appeared correct.

Solution:

The issue was caused by the theme deregistering WordPress’ jQuery using wp_deregister_script('jquery') and loading its own jQuery directly. This removed the jquery script handle that Toolset depends on. As a result, Toolset’s frontend.js was not initialized and AJAX events did not fire when filter inputs changed.

Fix: remove the deregister logic and restore the standard WordPress approach by using wp_enqueue_script('jquery'). After that, Toolset AJAX filtering worked normally.
