Hey

Is there a way to include in our search archive page a search box with the search query prefilled in it, like the toolset.com website does?

Thanks.

Hi Matthew,

Thank you for contacting us and I'll be happy to assist.

I've checked your website's existing search results/archive page and it seems to be using WordPress' built-in search form widget.
( e.g. hidden link )

To replace it with a search filter built with Toolset views, you can go to the WP Admin -> Toolset -> WordPress Archives and open the view for editing that is set for "Search results".

On this view's edit screen, you'll be able to add custom search filter(s) as explained in the following guide:
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/front-page-filters/#custom-search-archive

I hope this helps and please let me know if you need any further assistance around this.

regards,
Waqar
