I've got a search up and running of a custom post type here: hidden link

I was wondering if someone clicks on say 2 spirits, 3 cities, etc.; is there a way to display XX results returned with this "xxxxx" search criteria where the XXXXX was the mutli-select options the user selected?

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

We can able to display the selected options using the view's shortcode: [wpv-search-term]

For example:

[wpv-search-term param='your-url-param']

I'm not sure what other thing you want to display. Do you mean that you want to display the total count of selected options as well.

For instance, I selected 2 cities, you want to display:
2 cities with term X and Y is selected.

Thank you! almost there, instead of display the url, can you display the formatted value?

What you mean by formatted value?

Do you mean instead of option value - you want to display the option text?

Yes, the option text instead of the the URL.

Instead of "idc-straight-bourbon-whiskey" I would prefer to see "IDC Straight Bourbon Whiskey"

Ok - there is no direct way.

If your dropdown is of taxonomy dropdowns then you should use the solution mentioned as given with the following link:
