Can’t set the search engine right

Hello,
I am using search & filter along with CPT UI and ACF to create a job board.
For some reason when I create the search engine the dropdown is always emptpy, even though I already have 3 uploaded items (posts).

Your assistance please.

Are you able to send me a live link/URL to your search page so I can take a look?

When selecting the meta key, note a ‘gotcha’ with ACF ….

… it makes 3 meta keys per field, like this (in this example for a field named ‘land’):

#1 _land
#2 field_52f0fc4334f52
#3 land

In our Meta Key selection list, you need to use key #3, without the underscore at the start of the key name. If you choose #1 by mistake, in the field choices you will see the name of #2.

It works, thanks!

Now I’d like to change the search from to be horizontal (default is vertical) – how do I do that?

Two more things:
A) How can I align to the middle and change the colour of the submit button?
B) I did the redirect to a new page for the search results and put the following code-
[searchandfilter id=”360″ action=”filter_next_query”]
But it won’t show any results. 360 is the id of the search form, when it was redirecting to archive it was working fine.

Thanks in advance.

To make the form Horizontal, see here:

https://searchandfilter.com/documentation/getting-started/display-search-form/#making-your-search-form-horizontal

There are many other customising snippets in the forums:

That code you tried will likely not work. Are you able to send me a live link/URL to your search page so I can take a look?

Thanks for the reply

The job search engine is on the main page and the search results should be shown here-
https://letswork.co.il/job-search/

I already uploaded 3 posts (job openings) to here-
https://letswork.co.il/jobs/

And it’s the same source, once again, when I use the archive (default) search it shows the results properly. only with the custom I can’t see it.

If you want the jobs on this page:

https://letswork.co.il/jobs/

To be filtered on that page … AND you are using Elementor Pro, you should really (best) use the free extension that can be downloaded here, and follow this guide:

https://searchandfilter.com/documentation/3rd-party/elementor/

Did you use that? The form would then NOT be using the ‘Custom’ method and would not be using the ‘filter_next_query’ shortcode.

Thanks a lot for your supports, everything works great! 🙂

Just one last thing- how can I style just the submit button using CSS? (or any other way)

This search should give you some ideas:
