Tell us what you are trying to do?
I've been going through the tutorials on building a directory. I've created different post types, categories, and relationships... but I still can't get a proper search filter working.

I'd like to see a search dropdown to display the different trades and areas. What am I missing?

What is the link to your site?

Hi Zeb,

Thank you for getting in touch.

I see that you've added the sorting controls. However i'm not sure if you've gone through our Custom Search tutorial. If not then you can have a look at the link below for step by step instructions on how to correctly create your custom search.

Please let me know if this helps.
Thanks,
Shane
