Content on posts, filter on pages

Hello.

I have more than 2000 posts in category. Each post have more than 20 options in custom fields – price, size, etc.

Now i can filter them, using sub-categories by creating filter for each options combination, for example:
category/green-l/.
It is a bad decision, because i need to import posts to each combination category, it tooks a lot of time (an hour for each import). And i need to create custom category template and filter for each category.

What i am tryind to do:
-Keep products in posts.
-Create page template using wp_query to get only products i need (for example, custom field ‘price’ from 10 to 100). Using that page template create 50 pages with different price
-Create filter for this page templpate without ‘price’ field

But i have a problem with Display results method. Which one i must choose to display in filter results only posts received by wp_query conditions on page template? Now after filtering i get all 2000+ posts.

The only way to do this would be to let Search & Filter do the WP Query by using either The Shortcode or Custom methods (which require that the form is attached to a single pre-existing page), and that means creating one form per page, and then use the filter options in the form to pre-filter the page. I have done this one one site I have made.

Trevor, thanks for quick reply.

Is there any way to bulk creation or import search forms by xml, mysql query or some else? Manual copying of forms takes a lot of time.

To copy a form, if you hover over the form name in the list of forms, there is a duplicate link, yes?
