Assemble search forms in Gutenberg

VK Filter Search Pro adds block-based search to WordPress. Configure a form in the editor without writing PHP, then place it on a search results page or post archive. Choose whether it searches posts, pages, or a custom post type.

How search blocks narrow results

The Keyword Search Block searches post content. Taxonomy Search Blocks filter by categories, tags, or custom taxonomies. Pro adds the Post Date Search Block and Search Result Single Order, which controls the order of individual results.

Custom Field Search filters data stored in custom fields; this feature is marked beta.

Selection and show settings

• Use checkboxes or radio buttons for taxonomy choices. Checkbox filters can use AND logic to require every selected term or OR logic to match any selected term.
• Show post counts and terms with no posts in a Taxonomy Search Block.
• Set block widths for each screen size and edit item labels and search button text. Each search entry can have one label.

Setup and theme behavior

Install the extension, open the editor for the page or archive, and add the relevant Filter Search blocks. Choose the target post type and configure the filters, then adjust labels and widths before reviewing the results with your active theme. Theme CSS may affect the form's appearance, and the search results layout depends on the active theme and the controls it includes.
