[Resolved] Searching progress

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:

The problem here is that the user wanted to add a spinner graphic to their custom search that was built using Blocks.

Solution:

Unfortunately it is not possible with the block editor to add a loading spinner, however if you created your view with the classic editor you will be able to add a spinner or loading graphic.

Since you are using our Toolset blocks you can enable the classic editor by going to Toolset -> Settings -> Editing Experience and enable "Show both the legacy and Blocks interface and let me choose which to use for each item I build"

This should allow you to go to Toolset -> Views and from there you can create your view.

Tell us what you are trying to do?
I am playing around with the new Blocks plugin and so far I'm really impressed.
I'm getting a delay of 2-3 seconds when I select a category for the CPT I'm testing with and wondering if there is someway to show that the search is happening ?
I looked through all the setting but nothing is coming up !

Is there any documentation that you are following?
N/A

Is there a similar example that we can see?
N/A

What is the link to your site?

Please let me know if this helps.
