Views plugin lets you build your own custom search for any content type. These searches can be based on post content, taxonomies and custom fields.
When you ask for help or report issues, make sure to tell us settings for your custom search.

Problem:
The output of a View normally occurs all in one place, with the filter controls and pagination and then the results, how can these be separated to customise the layout of the page?
Solution:
At the end of each View is the Output Editor.
There you can see that the filter section and output section are indeed added sequentially via the two shortcodes.
This editor is a normal markup editor, so you can add whatever markup you want to here, such as a grid, to layout the filter controls and results, plus other content, as you wish, and there's no reason why you can't reverse the order, for example.
If you are displaying the View on a page where your theme adds a sidebar along with the main content area (which is where the View would appear), then you can add the filter controls as a widget in the sidebar.
If you go to Appearance > Widgets you should find a widget to insert Views results, and another to insert the filter controls.
Note that there is one limitation with the filter controls widget, namely that your filters must include a submit button.
Problem: I would like to hide any search filter options that are irrelevant or empty.
Solution: You can use the Views feature "Limit Filter Inputs According to Available Results". This feature can hide any options that would produce no results in the View.
