Tell us what you are trying to do?
As above, I'm trying to rebuild the courses and the faceted search with Toolset Blocks, instead of using the shortcodes. I'm not sure how to make the search do the following.

1) Be 3 columns so that we are able to have 3 dropdowns
2) when the users press search, they will be sent to the programs page, instead of needing to load the views section as well. This is doable using the shortcode, but can we do so with Blocks?

Is there any documentation that you are following?

Is there a similar example that we can see?

What is the link to your site?

Hi Leo,

Thank you for getting in touch.

1) Be 3 columns so that we are able to have 3 dropdowns

You do have the option to create a 3 column layout for the search filters when you use the columns block you can add your view search filter elements to it.

2) when the users press search, they will be sent to the programs page, instead of needing to load the views section as well. This is doable using the shortcode, but can we do so with Blocks?

Ok in this case you won't be able to separate the search bar from the results if you're using Blocks. This feature is currently only available when you're inserting your view using the shortcode.

Thanks,
Shane

Thanks, can you show me how to create the 3 columns layout and then add in the search filter elements? I just tried and can't seem to do so 🙁
