I have 2 CPTs. One is Locations (parent) The second is Spaces within a location (Child) So the 1st CPT is a film location lets say a villa. Then in the second CPT are all the spaces within the parent location. the swimming pool, each bedroom and the kitchen.

Both CPTs share the same Taxonomies. Type of building, type of water, landscape, overall style etc.

Is it possible for a search to search both CPT and then display the results on a single results page?

Please say yes.
Has anybody written a similar code before. Im happy to pay something for the snippet (If that's what it is)
Or is there a better way to approach this challenge?

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

What if you set your view to query both of your desired post types from the content selection section but the thing is that how exactly you would like to display the results.

If you will require to display the results like:
- parent 1
-- child 1
-- child 2
-- child 3
- parent 2
-- child 4
-- child 5

In such a case you will have to create a nested views (view inside view) and in that case you will have to use classic views as block type view do not support nested views.
