Toolset allows you to display a custom search form on one page and show the results on another.
Here’s an example of a real estate site where the homepage only has the custom search form.
When a user submits the search form, you can take them to another page with the results based on the options they selected.
Steps to display results on a separate page
There are two main steps to display the custom search form separately from the results:
- Create a View that displays the custom search and results.
- Insert the View you created into the page where you only want to display the search form.
Let’s break this down into more detailed steps.
Creating a View that displays custom search and results
- Create a new page or edit an existing one. This is the page that will display the results for the submitted search.
- Insert the Toolset View block and in the wizard turn on the Search option.
- Design your custom search including both the form and results.
Inserting the View into the page where you want only the search form
- Create or edit the page where you want to display only the custom search form.
- Insert the Toolset View block and select to use an existing View. Select the View you created in the previous step and click Use View.
- In the right sidebar, look at the Custom Search Settings section and select the Only the search form option.
- In the section about where to display the results select the On another page option. Finally, select the page where you originally created this View.
