Hi,

Thank you for contacting us and I'd be happy to assist.

To troubleshoot this, I'll need to see how this view is set up in the admin area.

Can you please share temporary admin login details, in reply to this message?

regards,

Thank you for sharing the admin access.

I used the "Add Search Field" button to insert a new "Custom Search Filter" block and selected the taxonomy "Business Categories" and the search filter drop-down is showing correctly now.

It is possible that some incorrect option was selected for the previous "Custom Search Filter" block and you can remove it.
