This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem: I have a custom post type called "Swimmers", and each Swimmer single post page title is the name of the Swimmer. I would like to show a View of standard WordPress Posts on the Swimmer single post page, and I would like to filter that View using the Swimmer's name.
Solution: Use a text search Query Filter and pass the current post's title into the filter as a shortcode attribute.
[wpv-view name="books-with-text-search" search="[wpv-post-title]"]

Hi, you can create a View of Posts, add a Query Filter using Post Search, and choose "Search for a text set by a Views shortcode attribute search". See the attached screenshot for an example of this Query Filter. If you cannot see the Query Filter section in your View editor, click "Screen Options" in the top right corner of the editor screen. You can enable the Query Filter section here.
Use the Loop Output editor to create the list of post titles or links. Then insert this View in your Swimmer Content Template using the "search" shortcode attribute like this:
[wpv-view name="books-with-text-search" search="[wpv-post-title]"]
This is called "passing arguments into Views" and we have some additional information about this technique here: https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/passing-arguments-to-views/
Let me know if you have any questions about that.
