Keep searched terms in the fields

  • Hello,

    after searching, my drop down and keyword field re set to blank/default on the results page. I’d like the search filter form to keep whatever was chosen to do the search selected in that form on the results page to maintain context.

    eg.

    All Vehicle Types (dropdown select)

    All Colours (dropdown select)

    Search by keyword (keyword field)

    if searching for cars, red, used on the results page, I’d like those terms/taxonomies to be shown/selected in the form to keep context of what search got the user to that set of results for easier refining of search.

    ie.

    Cars (dropdown select)

    Red (dropdown select)

    Used (keyword field)

    Can anyone advise please?

    Thanks.

    What version you are using? The latest version should be able to do the job.

    Hi TC.K

    I am using the default template. Obviously styled up to match my site.

    I have noticed that the keyword field does retain the search term and display it. it is the drop down selects that don’t.

    Did you use any filter to customize the plugin when you styled up your site? Or, you have other plugin that customize the select field?

    Actually yes, I did have a developer add a couple of functions in functions.php to:

    1. put one of the countries first in the list then all the other ones in alphabetical order
    2. add post count and heirarchy to the categories.

    However, if I remove those functions, the problem persists.

    I am not quite sure, maybe it have something wrong with your theme. It’s hard to tell, there are many possibilities here.
