Hi,
I have some questions and thoughts regarding a search/filter page I am creating here:
hidden link

1. Can certain categories be hidden in the categories search filter (VÄLJ TYP AV INNEHÅLL)?

2. How can I correct the sorting for Swedish alphabet (which ends with å ä ö)?

3. Is it possible to include and exclude specific terms at the same time, in the same search view?

4. Do you have any tutorials on the best way to finetune the graphic design (sorting alternatives for instances)?

5. If using a ”set of checkboxes”, can the height of the area for search terms be increased? How can I add space between the small check box and the text?

6. Any suggestions on how to make all the ”boxes” for the post listings same height?

7. Is it possible to show different info above the search result, based on which term is shown i the search? (Using conditions?)

8. Is this kind of search page good for SEO, or do you have suggestions on how to make it more SEO friendly?

Sorry about the multitude of questions. Question 1-2 are most important right now.
Thanks in advance

Yes, its possible using the "wpv_filter_query" using which you can filter the view's arguments on fly.
