I would like to have 2 or 3 different sites (not multisite) and perform a search and display results on one site from the other.

So for example I have a small directory on one site build with Toolset and each user created their directory listing on the front end.

On the 2nd site I would like to have a page where I can search and filter those results, as well as display them.

Is this possible?

Thank you for contacting Toolset Support. I am happy to help you with this.

This is not possible as a default and will require custom programming.

OK.

What about simply displaying the directory or some of it. I mean the other site wouldn't let the user search and filter the results.

Is there a simple way to just display some of the results? Maybe via RSS?

Or would this also require custom programming?

The limitations on this is due to WordPress itself which is the reason for the need for custom programming but, yes, RSS feeds can work, too.

For instance, if there is a custom post type called "Album Reviews", the RSS for that custom post type would look like this:

site.com/album-review/feed/

From there you may need to do custom programming to pull the RSS feed but I hope this gets you closer to your goals. 🙂
