Is it possible to have a taxonomy view with a nested post view and to be able to search the post view by keyword? For example:

Category 1
- post 1
- post 2
- post 3
Category 2
- post 3
- post 4
- post 5
Category 3
- post 1
- post 6
- post 7

Some posts will be in multiple categories (post 1, post 3) and some posts will have similar content/keywords. Let's say post 1 contains the work "mask". I want a user to be able to enter "mask" in a search box and the results to display as:
Category 1
- post 1
Category 2
'No posts match your search'
Category 3
- post 1
- post 7

I apologize if this doesn't make sense.I have tried a few things such as displaying the search form and results separately but always end up with either all of the posts showing under each category or the page crashing (probably due to some sort of infinite loop).

Hello,

Yes, it is possible, but you will need to disable AJAX search/pagination feature in both parent taxonomy view and child post view.

For example:
1) Edit the child post view, setup the custom search form with the search box + submit button:

disable AJAX search/pagination feature

2) Edit the parent taxonomy view:
- disable AJAX search/pagination feature
- in view's loop, display child post view's shortcode with option "Only the search results", see my screenshot Only-the-search-results.JPG

3) Create a page, display:-
- the custom search form of child post view with option "Only the search form", see the same screenshot Only-the-search-results.JPG
- And parent taxonomy view.

Not sure what I was doing wrong but that worked like a charm. Thank you!
