This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
The user would like to have a search, with term fields, in a taxonomy view.
Solution:
Custom search is not possible for taxonomy views and user views. It is only possible for post views. We have an existing feature request for custom taxonomy searches and I have added your voice to the request.
You may also confirm it in our feature request form https://toolset.com/home/contact-us/suggest-a-new-feature-for-toolset/
However, I believe that a workaround can be implemented using custom code. At the end, taxonomy views are just a wrapper around a WP_Term_Query instance. And we do offer a hook to modify the arguments that would be passed to it:

Hi.
Tell us what you are trying to do?
I created a taxonomy view to insert a term taxonomy in the template front end. It worked OK. As expected, I can see a flag icon (term) and the respective nation (taxonomy). Then, I created the main page featuring a View Search. Unfortunately, the view is not available in the 'insert custom search filter' when I add a new search field.
Is there any documentation that you are following?
According to Toolset documentation, "you can display term fields on a View listing terms and on a term archive page". Does it mean that I cannot use it in a search? Is there any way to do it?
Is there a similar example that we can see?
I wanted to see flag icon + nation when I click on 'All Nations'.
What is the link to your site?

Thank you very much
