Hi Luo Yang,

thank you for the prompt reply.
I am able to add custom search. but I can't get the fields to look uniform, like in toolset's examples.

how do i do that?

I think you have already styled the fields input boxes are in uniform style, see the screenshot I provided above, which is different from your screenshot, especially the select field "Search by Trade".

You might clear your browser cache or try with another browser, and test again.

And you can follow the document you mentioned above to style the search form, section "How to style a search and results"
