Hello, you can use the Query Filter panel to add a filter that is not displayed on the front-end of the site. I'm attaching screenshots here showing you how it is possible. Note in the Block Navigation menu (top left) I have selected the View itself, which will allow me to adjust the Query Filter settings (bottom right). I already have one custom search field added for "Question 1" (upper center). I want Users to be able to select one of the answers to Question 1, but I also want to filter by Question 2. That filter should be predetermined, not manipulated on the front-end of the site. I want to only show results where the answer to Question 2 is 2, and this is what I have configured in the Query Filter panel.
Let me know if you have questions about adding a Query Filter to an existing search View.
