Tell us what you are trying to do?
We have a post type called "Games", which has a parent-child relationship set up with another post type called "Reviews". Games pulls a taxonomy called "Platforms" as part of its data, which Reviews references in certain Views.

What we want to do is for there to be a search page where a user can search for Reviews using the taxonomy of Platforms. We're not exactly sure how to tell it to do that.

What is the link to your site?

Hello,

Toolset Views/Blocks plugins are using WordPress built-in class WP_Query to query posts, so you can filter the result by custom taxonomies/fields of current post type "Reviews", you can not filter the result by taxonomies/fields of other post types "Games".

You might consider to setup a post view:
- Query "Games" posts
- Filter by taxonomy "Platforms"
- In view's loop, display a child "Reviews" post view
