Hi,

I am still trying to get to grips with sorting out a site search / filter facility and I really would appreciate some help and not just docs because up to now your documents have been unable to help me figure this out.

For example I have setup 5 listings within a Type that I created.
I have also setup 3 Custom Fields that are primarily for the filter

They are
Duration
1 Day
2 Days
3 Days
4 Days
5+ Days

Month
January
February
March
April
etc
etc

Location
England
Ireland
Scotland
Wales
Europe

The 5 litsings i have created cover this criteria above, howveer if i select England in one drop down, the other 4 locations vanish and I need a complete page refresh to see them again.

I have set the Locations up manually to see if that helps and it does not. See screenshots for manual setup of the select fields and the auto one.

Yes, thank you that does help, the next question is how can I get that filter to appear in the sidebar of every page but have the results show on the search page. I tried to add them as a widget but the results were showing in the sidebar.

It needs to be like this one
