Insert a View - Toolset

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
How can I display a View?

Solution:
On any post, open the "Fields and Views" Gui, and choose your View.
Complete the steps in the GUI and insert the shortcode.

With the API you can render the whole output of the View programmatically:

I am trying to: Use a Shortcode or something similar to display my search form on the homepage of my site using the index.php template of my theme (in this case, _underscores).

I visited this URL: hidden link

I expected to see: My two forms (a search box for Search by Name and a pulldown for Search bt Category). When either is selected it should have taken me here: hidden link

Instead, I got: The two fields, which was great, but the search results appear on this page, instead of redirecting to the actual search results page.

To insert a View where you have the search results on another target page you can follow this DOC:
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/front-page-filters/#displaying-custom-search

You can, when you insert the ShortCode with the GUI "Fields and Views", choose where to display the Results.

With the API you can render the whole output of the View:
https://toolset.com/documentation/programmer-reference/views-api/

For your goal, please follow the first link.

Got it. I think I had the incorrect shortcode in there. It's working now. Thank you.
