Dears,

I have a user form, all its fields are created in custom user fields. I would like to add search boxes in the user view to be able to search the user by, for example, Name, ID, or email.

I discover that Only Views listing posts can have custom search inputs.

What is the solution now, Is there any other way to solve it. Please assist me.

Hello,

There isn't such a built-in feature within Toolset Blocks/Views plugins, you will need do these manually:
1) Manually setup the search input fields and submit button, when user click the submit button in front-end, it will pass specific URL parameter to the view.
2) Use filter hook "wpv_filter_user_query" to trigger a PHP function
https://toolset.com/documentation/programmer-reference/views-filters/#wpv_filter_user_query
3) In this PHP function, get the URL parameters, and apply it to the WordPress user quer:
