Filter Search Widget for Elementor Pro

A search box that filters a loop widget while visitors type.

Overview

What Filter Search does

Filter Search adds a search box above or next to a Loop Grid or Loop Carousel. The list shows only matching posts or products, while visitors type or when they press Enter.

FAQ

Questions and answers

Does the page reload when a visitor uses the filter?

No. The connected loop widget loads the new results in place, and the other filters update to match.

Is this the same as the Live Search widget?

No. Live Search shows results in a dropdown from the whole site. Filter Search narrows one loop widget on the page.

Can I filter an archive that uses Current Query?

No. Archives built on the current query use normal page links. Choose a source such as Posts or Products in the loop widget to filter it.
