I have two forms that I’d like to work together. The search form sits in the header and is only a search input (sfid 5729). The Filter form sits in the sidebar and has dropdowns for 3 custom taxonomies plus a from and to date (sfid 5727). They both are set to display in archive.php. The search form will use a url such as this, https://boardofednew.webdev.idaho.gov/search/?_sf_s=test.

The archive.php sidebar is implemented with content aware sidebars plugin and the sf widget for this filter form is set to display in it (5727).

So when I access the current press releases from the menu using url https://domainnamehere/resources/?_sft_resourcetype=press-releases and archive.php the filter form (5727) displays properly along with the filtered results for press releases. However, when I use the search form from the header (5729), it displays search results properly using archive.php, but it does not display the filter form (5757) in the sidebar. My intent is to return the search results for the term, then filter it further with the form in the sidebar. Code for archive.php follows:

‘
<?php
/**
*
* Description: Generic Index Page
*
* Used to display archive-type pages if nothing more specific matches a query.
* For example, puts together date-based pages if no date.php file exists.
*
* If you’d like to further customize these archive views, you may create a
* new template file for each one. For example, tag.php (Tag archives),
* category.php (Category archives), author.php (Author archives), etc.
