[Resolved] group search results by post type

hey,

I have recipes and guides. When someone searches for a keyword, I want to split the results according to each post type - for example, show:

RECIPES (10 hits)
GUIDES (4 hits)

and if possible - clicking on each "filter" would filter only the clicked post type.

Is this possible somehow?

Thanks!

I have an idea, but maybe it's only a workaround:

1) create 2 separate views, one for each post type
2) create a page with tabs/toggles in it
3) place each view in a different tab
4) put the tab headers in

tags in each view
5) put the

tag outside the views, in the page

should work. but is there a more native way?

cheers,
ido

Hi, I'm not sure what you mean by this:
"and if possible - clicking on each "filter" would filter only the clicked post type."
Could you show me a rough mockup of what this means?

In general, you can update the results of two Views using one set of filters if you disable AJAX on both Views, but I'm not sure what you mean by the clicked post type so I'm not 100% sure what else you want to accomplish. Let me know and I'll take a closer look.

Hey,
Basically I meant for it to act like tabs. something like here:
hidden link
(and it's indeed tabs)
I think I'm fine with my suggestion - I tried it and it works.
Thanks C!
