I’m using Attributes not assigned to categories instead of Categories to circumvent the lack of multi-category listings. But, when I set the search parameters for the attributes to checkboxes, it doesn’t put them in the search bar. If I mark the search parameters as Select, that almost gives me what I need, but it’s slower for the user to select multiples that way from the search bar. Is there anyway to put attribute checkboxes in the search bar instead of select options? I’m not using Keywords because I want to give the user specific choices instead of them typing in search terms.
Hi,
Unfortunately, search does not yet support multiple types, for example, vertical checkboxes, as this will look incorrect in UI\UX. Please consider using the select multiple attribute, as it is almost the same as a checkbox, but better for a horizontal form, because all selections are displayed immediately inside the field after selection, and the drop-down closes accordingly.
I hope this is helpful to you
I like the checkboxes selection from the user end. They can see all the selections they have made and unselect or select different options easily. With the select multiple attributes, they have to click into that field, select one, click into that field again, select another, and so on. Then to see which ones they have selected, they have to click into the field and see which ones are highlighted in gray and unselect or select more.
