I'm using Toolset to create a custom search that searches by text (name/post content), taxonomies (hierarchical) and tags. For tags we're going to end up with hundreds of tags. Is there a way to use a text input to to search tags? I'm using checkboxes now but that's getting unwieldy and the other select boxes, etc. don't work well either.

So wondering if there's a simpler/cleaner option built in (otherwise may custom build something using text and having it check the checkboxes in the background).

Hello,

There isn't such a built-in feature within Toolset search form, but you can setup the input box with Views shortcode manually, for example:

[wpv-control type="textfield" url_param="wpv-post_tag"]
