Tell us what you are trying to do?
Search from one page and display results on another
Is there any documentation that you are following?
https://toolset.com/course-lesson/displaying-search-results-on-a-different-page/ - I see the option to choose Search Only and select another page but if I choose to edit a copy of the view, a new view is created and I don't see the options the documentation references - see attached images.
Is there a similar example that we can see?

What is the link to your site?
hidden link

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

I'm not sure why you creating the copy of your view.

Can you please share problem URL and admin access details and tell me what view you created and where exactly you want to display the search form and on what page you want to display the search result?

*** Please make a FULL BACKUP of your database and website.***
I would also eventually need to request temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP) to your site. Preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated if possible in order to be of better help and check if some configurations might need to be changed.

I have set the next reply to private which means only you and I have access to it.

I think I see what the issue is. I was trying to connect 2 different views. The reason I wanted to create a copy is so that I could change something in the 2nd view. I don't wan't the "Reset Filters" link to show on the second page. I see now what the documentation is suggesting. Also, I'm using the Divi builder so in order to insert the modified view I had to create a copy of the View.

I just used a short code to accomplish what I needed.

hidden link - on this page you can see the search fields created by my short code.
hidden link - this page shows the view inserted with Divi.

I did not find any documentation on creating the short code and connecting the search to a different page by using the short code method - that was MUCH easier!

You can enable the legacy view by following the steps given with the following link:
- https://toolset.com/course-lesson/enabling-legacy-version-of-toolset-views/

If you are talking about legacy views,, please check the following Doc:
- https://toolset.com/documentation/legacy-features/views-plugin/front-page-filters/#custom-search-view

You can check if that works and helps and if you need further assistance please share problem URL and admin access details and tell me what exactly you want to achieve.
