Hey there!
I’m using the filter - submit in my live-search results to redirect the user to a dedicated search page for more results. However, the URL-Parameters set for the filter - search and also for a filter-radio in my live search results container are not passed after redirect.
After redirect:
So is this intended to work like this? Additionally it would be nice to not add the URL parameter for the filter - submit in the redirect, as we can not set and it is empty anyway.
Hi @bbua97 ,
Thanks for reaching out.
Based on your screenshot, the redirect URL doesn’t seem correct.
The redirect URL should not have “form-field-xxx”
This could be causing be third-party plugins.
This is the expected behaviour Query Sort, Filter & Live Search – Bricks Academy
Additionally, you shouldn’t set “category” as URL parameter as it will be conflicted with WordPress reserved parameters.
You can also provide a link to your page for me to inpect as a guest.

Good Morning @itchycode !
I should have checked that before. I found the problem, putting the live search into a wrapper after adding this tag to the allowed ones via ‘bricks/allowed_html_tags’ filter, obviously causes the URL parameter not to work anymore. There was a good reason for me though, to put it into a wrapper:
I added a “action” attribut with the same url to the form wrapper, as I have set in my Filter - Submit (which is a button type=”submit”). I wanted to get a redirected to while typing into my Filter - Search and pressing enter which is not possible by default. The simplest solution for me was, to put it into a wrapper.
Can you look into this? It would be great, if we could actually use this in future, otherwise I have to overthink and come up with a js solution for something, which should work out of the box.
Hi @bbua97 ,
Do you mean you want to hit “Enter” when focused on the Filter - Search element to directly “Redirect” to the target URL instead of performing the search?
It would be great to have a video and a link to your page if I misunderstood what you want.

Exactly that’s what I want! When the search field is focused and I’m typing, I want to be able to hit enter to instantly get to the “Redirect to” - URL defined in the Filter - Submit element. There’s no need to replace the default search though. The live search results can be displayed, but if the Filter - Submit acts as a “More Results” button and It would be nice if there’s no need to grab the mouse again and click the more results button. As I use every search, I’m typing and then pressing enter to get to all results.
Hi @bbua97 ,
We can improve the Filter - Search element by providing a new setting “Redirect to” URL setting similar like the Filter - Submit/Reset element.
Just to be clearer, may I know what you set on the “Apply on” setting for the Filter - Search element? It’s the default “Input” or “Submit”?
I assume this new setting should only be applicable if the “Apply on” is set to “Submit”. Am I right?
Which means, if the Filter - Search element “Apply on” = “Submit”:
If new Redirect URL is empty, hit Enter = trigger AJAX search (Like current behaviour)
If new Redirect URL is not empty, hit Enter = redirect with all other filter’s URL parameter.

Hey Jenn!
A setting for a redirect on the Filter - Search element would be nice! So the user could either press enter or use the Filter - Submit button for “More results”. On the Filter - Search element I’m using apply on “Input”, as I want the search results to show up on user input.
It would be great, that if the user inputs something in the Filter - Search, the results appear without hitting enter. If the user hits enter though as long as the input is focused, he get’s redirected to a dedicated URL. Alternatively he could use the mouse to click a Filter - Submit button with a redirect URL which is placed in my live search results container below the results.
