Tell us what you are trying to do?

- I need to create a search results page that contains multiple views (for different post types)
- A globally used search field (for the site header) that displays its results on the search results page.

The results views will list out different fields like this:

(PT) PAGES
- Title
- Body

(PT) VIDEOS
- title
- category
- video
- description

(PT) Glossary
- Term name
- Description

I tried creating a view for each post type and then applying them to a search archive view, but I can't get it to work.

Hello,

It is possible to pass same URL parameter to multiple views, and take effect on all of them, but you need disable AJAX search feature, for example:

Edit each post views:

1) in section "Custom Search Settings", enable option: Full page refresh when visitors click on the search button,
2) In section "Search and Pagination", add a submit button

Thank you. Should I be putting those views into a search archive view? If so, how would I go about correctly doing that? Putting them in the loop doesn't seem to work.

You can create a new page, and display all those view in the same page. Please let me know if you need assistance for it, private message box enabled.

Thanks for the details, I can login your website, will update here if find anything

Here are what I find:
1) The post view "search pages" might be broken, and I create another fresh new view "search pages 2" here:
hidden link
You can customize it manually.

2) For the issue: calculate the number of results combined, it needs another post view:
hidden link
Filter by:
- Filter post title, content and fields by a text search that will be added manually using the shortcode [wpv-filter-search-box].
- Exclude posts with the following IDs: 198,98,46

in section "Loop Editor" line 3, display the shortcode: [wpv-found-count]
hidden link
line 10, display 0 value when there is any item found

enable option "Disable the wrapping DIV around the View"

3) results for the term: search term
You can use [wpv-search-term] shortcode to output the URL parameter, for example:
[wpv-search-term param="wpv_post_search"]
