2 - Why the search doesn’t really work
If you please look at the front end page - hidden link - and try some of the selectors, they hardly produce any results. Even when you have just opened the page it tends to go empty, completely unlike the old front page.
If you select Region > Toscana (with most home offers) and then different kinds of properties (Type bolig) on the new and old search pages, they produce totally different results.
Also, even if I (under View Search) have checked “Show only filter options that would produce results” I get empty results.

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

I split the ticket with your every question so that we can track each issue one by one.

2 - Why the search doesn’t really work
Please feel free to experiment - please just put things back in place...
===>
I just added the default option "select" to both the filters. Please check the following screenshot:
=> hidden link

If I try to filter now, it shows the correct results:
=> hidden link

Hello again

2 - Search doesn't work
"I just added the default option "select" to both the filters"
That's funny, and far from obvious. This way the selector works in quite a different way. But it works, which is great!
One minor issue, though: Even when setting the form field labels to white, they insist on being standard black.
--> Some obvious reason...?

And - sorry, but I have one more question:
In the result list, it would be very nice and tidy if I could put the local name and the region name after eachother with an "in" between. Instead of (for instance) Ischia and Campania on two lines it would be perfect with "Ischia in Campania" (like on the old front page - labellavita.no).
--> Possible ?
--> Much the same: Which icon set do you recommend to eg. replace "bed" with a bed symbol? (Fontawsome didn't work and Dashicons miss a bed...)

3 - Map
(from the other thread - https://toolset.com/forums/topic/styling-search-form-and-make-the-search-work/ )
Also the map now seems to work! (and the variety of settings are great - well made!)
I say "seems" because not all holiday homes show up - but that again is maybe because the map only shows the 9 results now being showed, correct?
--> Is there a way to make the map show ALL homes, not just the nine visible in the list above?

Thanks again
Kjetil
