    Hey Trevor,

    Yes, that is correct. The main global search form drives to a custom search template, where the filters that are in the sidebar use a Custom results method.

    The sidebar filters currently do not have a text search box in them, but are you suggesting that I could use a little bit of JS to grab the current query from the main search bar, and put that value in a hidden text field in the sidebar filters?

    If that is correct to assume, that will for sure work for now until v3 is out and we can re-factor.

    Appreciate the fast support as always!

    Trvor,

    Thank you for the fast response. “You CAN have the two forms on any page other than the results page.” sounds like it hit the nail on the head for me.

    They were linked using arguments in the code which I could see why now was creating some issues.

    When using the global text search that I have, it drives to the same results page as my sidebar filters search instance. An ideal world I was almost hoping that if you executed a search for the word “vehicle” that on the results page you could use the sidebar filters to further drill down the results, but that same sidebar filter search instance could also work stand alone if you were on the results page (before results were shown)

    I picked up on some inherited conflicts already that the sidebar form was overwriting some settings from my global text search at the top. Since posting this I have moved the global text search back to being an Archive using a custom search.php file that looks just like the original Custom Results page. This still has the sidebar filters form on it so I have to tinker with that some.

    Excited for v3, the rumblings in various responses I have seen on the forums look very promising!
