Allow search filter to include fields outside of categories that will search all categories

For example, I have categories for different industries, such a restaurants and hotels. I have a field for live music that both of them can select. I want to be able to search for live music and have results for both restaurants and hotels show up together.

At the very least, adjust the search results to allow multiple fields in the query string so we can link to them directly.

Hi,

​Please send more details about this question, and we will do our best to help you.

Sorry this was meant for feature requests. I just changed the category.

I would like to add vendor attributes that can be added to the search filter without having to choose the category first. So that you can search for things in multiple categories instead of one category at a time.

The second part of my request was to at least allow something like this to work:
https://exampledomain.com/?_sort=&s=&post_type=hp_listing&_category=1&_category=2&_category=3&live_music=1

whereas the results would turn up live music for categories 1, 2, and 3.

This would give me the ability to make a link for “Live Music” and have it turn up results for any category.

Hi,

According to the category design, this is a type of listing, and they are distinct, so, unfortunately, there is no such possibility. We recommend trying custom multiple select attributes if you have any other listing characteristics. As for categories, leave them for unusual things.

That wouldn’t work, because the attributes are only conditional based on categories, not values from other attributes. I’ll just have to develop something I guess. Thanks.
