I want to search by post relationships. In the article https://toolset.com/course-lesson/creating-a-custom-search/#how-to-search-by-post-relationships they use the normal WordPress Editor
I'm using WPBakery and there is not an "add search field" in the page with my view.

The only thing I see is a shortcake like this [wpv-view name="zoek_vacatures"]

How can I use the search by post relationships using WPBakery?

Thanks

Hello and thank you for contacting Toolset support.

You can't really build the search inside WPBakery. You must create the view, either on the blocks editor as shown on that article or in the legacy editor. Then you can only add it inside WPBakery using that shortcode:

[wpv-view name="zoek_vacatures"]

The legacy editor can be activated in Toolset->Settings->General(tab)->Editing experience. Reload the page, and you will get a new menu item(Toolset->Views), inside of it, you can create a new view.

I hope this answers your question. Let me know if you have any doubts.
