    Configure Blocks

    For each block type:

    • Facet
    • Pager
    • Advanced Search

    There will be one block per View Display. The block should be limited to only appear when the view it was derived from is also being displayed on the same page.

    This requires configuring the visibility of the block as appropriate. For collection based searches be sure to limit the display of the Facets block to the models you want to display the search on, e.g:

    

    Advanced Search Block

    For any valid Search API field, you can drag / drop and reorder the fields to display in the advanced search form on. The configuration resides on the block so this can differ across views / displays if need be.

    If the view this block is attached to has two exposed filters, then you can choose which one corresponds to direct descendants. This will enable the "Include Sub-Collections" search checkbox on the Advanced Search block.

    

    N.B. Be aware that the Search views Exposed Form can have an affect on the function of the Advanced Search Block. Please refer to that section to learn more.

    Search Block (NEW)

    To associate this simple search block to a Advanced Search Result Page view, you can select its machine name in the dropdown list. With that, this form will redirect to the view with search parameters.

    You can also change the search form's appearance by changing the default label, placeholder text for the search text field, and search button.
