Hello,

I have a client that would like a search function that acts like a wizard where each section asks a questions and the user checks the answer then proceeds to the next question. Once the final question is answered the results would be show.

Can the parametric search function work like this at all?

A parametric search is not possible to set up as this, because it is a set of options that you choose and it displays results according to that.

What comes the closest to your goal is to "fine filter" a set of results, by passing the URL Search parameter to another View where the User then can fine-filter the given results by other things, or to hide specific Search Options with Condtional HTML until a certain condition is met in the Search.

But both do not offer an option to let the user answer a question and subsequently show results.

Please let me know if you are interested in above approaches and chose one, so we could help you achieve it.
