Tell us what you are trying to do?
I need to have the filters that I have already created on one page. But when the user runs the filter it will take you to a page for the results.
Is there any documentation that you are following?
Toolsets
Is there a similar example that we can see?
I can upload images of what Im looking for
What is the link to your site?
hidden link

Here are the images of what I'm trying to accomplish. One is the home page where the filters will sit. The other is the page that the filters will take you with the results.

Hi Jessica,

Thank you for getting in touch.

So you essentially want the search bar on one page and when the search is made it leads to the results page.

Take a look at this link here.
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/front-page-filters/#4-1-adding-the-custom-search-form-to-a-page-or-widget

When you are adding the search to a page you will be presented with some options.
"Only Search Form"

This should allow you to add the search form only to the page, then follow the instructions to add the results to a separate page. See Screenshot

It will allow you to create and add the results only to a separate page.

Please let me know if this helps.
Thanks,
Shane

Hi Jessica,

You're referring to the Text Search bar correct?

There is a text search button on the filters section , See Screenshot

You should be able to add it with this.

Thanks,
Shane

Thank you again!

Well Its the distance search. Like if the user wants to search by zip or address. I have one already created on the locations page but I think thats connected to the dropdown filter on that page as well. Would there be a way to use that one on the home page as well?

#1236344

Oh so I would need to create another view with just the location search?

Hi Jessica,

No the distance filter can be on the same view as well and on the same search area.

Doesn't need to be on a separate page.

All you need to do is add the filter for it.
