Problem: I would like to create a parametric search Taxonomy View.

Hello,

I have a taxonomy view displaying hierarchical terms (COUNTRY > STATE > REGION > CITY).

I would need this view to have a multiselect filter allowing to display only cities from REGION 1 and REGION 4 for instance.

How would this be achievable ?

Thank you.

Hi, there is no parametric search feature available for taxonomy Views, unfortunately. As the message says in the View editor: "Only Views listing posts can have custom search inputs."
