I can't see the Custom search tap after inserting the toolset view at 7:42 in the video.
I want to divide 'Only the search form' and 'Only the search result'

link to the video: hidden link

Hi,

Your observation is correct and the option to select from either the search form or the search results in the Toolset Views widget in the Elementor builder is not available.

This has been reported to the development team to be reviewed and fixed in future releases. Although I don't have a time estimate to share at the moment, I'll keep you updated through this ticket.

The good news is that there is a simple shortcode based workaround that you can use to show the search form and search results from the view, separately.

Instead of using the Toolset Views widget in the Elementor builder, you can add a simple "Text" widget and use the view's shortcodes, depending on the case.

To show only the search form for the view with slug "view-slug", that shows the search results by redirecting to a different page with ID "123":

[wpv-form-view name="view-slug" target_id="123"]

Note: Your view's search form should include a "Submit" button for this redirection to work.

To show only the search form for the view with slug "view-slug", that shows the search results on the same page, without redirection:

[wpv-form-view name="view-slug" target_id="self"]

And to show only the search results for the view with slug "view-slug":

[wpv-view name="view-slug" view_display="layout"]

I hope this helps and please let me know if you need any further assistance around this.

regards,
Waqar
