Steps for search in a view

by

Yes — you can search a View by the Model field

What you want is a View page with a search form added to that same page.

Setup steps

  1. Create a View
    • Views
    • p]:inline” data-streamdown=”list-item”>Choose a format that lists all entries
    • p]:inline” data-streamdown=”list-item”>Include your Model field in the output if needed
  2. Publish the View on a page
    • p]:inline” data-streamdown=”list-item”>Insert the View into that page
  3. Add a search form to the same View page
    • Search form using the Formidable button
    • search results page blank if you want the search to filter results on the current page
    • p]:inline” data-streamdown=”list-item”>Test by searching for a model
      • p]:inline” data-streamdown=”list-item”>Search for a model name
      • Important note

        Formidable’s search works by being placed on a View page, so it knows which View to search.

        Best fit for your use case

        If your entries have a Model field, this approach is the standard way to let users search and narrow the listing to that model.
