Hallo dear Support.
Unfortunately, the search function only works for the title and not for the text of the individual entry. Can this be customised? So that names within the text could also be found?

In addition, after I have clicked on search, the page jumps up and I always have to scroll down to the position of the input mask in order to see the results, which is not particularly user-friendly. Can something be adjusted here?

Thanks a lot!

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

As I understand - You want to search withing the post title and post content. If this is true:

As you can see with the following Doc, you can select the post content and title option:
=> https://toolset.com/documentation/legacy-features/views-plugin/filtering-views-for-a-specific-text-string-search/#search-in-content-or-titles

if you are using Block View, please check the following Doc:

Unfortunately, I do not have this field: Text search (title and content) .

And I don't need a new filter, but I would like it to find a name in the free text search, for example.
But I can't find these terms, as in your screenshot, in the custom filters anyway.

I see with the problem URL you shared, you already added the text search.

Can I have admin access details so I can show you screenshot when you already added the text search from where you can change the query filter settings.

*** Please make a FULL BACKUP of your database and website.***
I would also eventually need to request temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP) to your site. Preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated if possible in order to be of better help and check if some configurations might need to be changed.

I have set the next reply to private which means only you and I have access to it.

When I try to access the wp-admin page for login I get the following error:

Oops! An Error Occurred
The server returned a "404 Not Found".

Can you please send me working admin page where I can login.

I have just logged in with the Logion data and everything works perfectly. Maybe you can try again or in a different browser.

When I check the edit page:

- Are you using Avada builder? If yes, you will require to add the view using the legacy (shortcode) method.

I can see the view markup there not the view normal view.

First I've enabled the legacy view so you can build the legacy view.
- https://toolset.com/course-lesson/enabling-legacy-version-of-toolset-views/

Do you want to use block based view?

I do not know the site history and I'm not sure how exactly you build the existing view. It seems the block view and then later you introduce the Avada builder.

You should not mix both avada and blocks. If you want to display the block view within avada builder then you will require to add the view using view's shortcode. [wpv-view name="your-view-slug"]

Can I create a test page without avada or you can setup a test page without avada and give me the link and I will show you how to do it.

#2813909

The problem is that I build in the block view, but unfortunately my customers keep going back to the page and forget and don't go to the page with the Gutenberg editor.

I would be delighted if you could set this up correctly. Is there a way to lock the subpages that are built with Toolset so that ONLY the Gutenberg Editor can work on them?

I have set up a new page here, as the requirements for the search will now change. You are very welcome to set everything correctly in the free text search and show me how to do it correctly. That would be great!

Thank you!
