  Hi schmidty54, as i undertand you just only need to filter the search result to a specific post type.
  
  You can add a hidden field with your post type in your search form to get a ulr like this.
  
  http://casselton.com/dev/?s=test&post_type=community_listing
  
  i can help with this if you send me login/ftp details via PM.

    Hi Luis,
    
    I see you've been able to redirect the search. That's great, and thank you!
    
    Are you able to help me add my custom taxonomies to the search query? So I just want the visitor to be able to search my custom post types and custom taxonomies.
    
    Thanks!
    Dave

    Luis Abarca says:

    OK Dave.
    
    As we are using a custom page for the search, we can add that filters in in the args of WP_Query, we need to pass the post_type argument when we use the default search Wordpress

    Dave Schmidt says:

    Luis,
    
    For an extra $10 can you write the query for me?
    
    Right now I just copied and pasted search code from Ian Stewart's blog. I pasted the code on the custom page. I'm just not that comfortable writing custom queries. All I really want is the following:
    
    1. Text that reads: "Search Results for: " with the search term displayed.
    2. Results based on either category or post title.
    
    We're soooo close Luis! I'm sure you can help me with this!
    
    Thanks,
    Dave

  Dave, i'm french. So i need to know if i understood your question.
  
  You want a specific page "result of search" which displays only the business names and categories (no others pages)
  
  That's it ?
  
  i dont understand the first point "redirects to".
  And the third ("List the search results"). Is it not the same thing ofthe point 2 ?

    Dave Schmidt says:

    Hi Sébastien,
    
    Once you type in your search query and press enter (or click on the magnifying glass), I'd like WordPress to take the visitor to this page: community-directory-categories
    
    I'd like the search results to display on this page, not the typical search page. So if you look at community-directory-categories, I'd like the search results to appear above the content. Does that make sense?
    
    Thank you for replying!
    
    Dave

    Sébastien | French WordpressDesigner says:

    oki understand
    and each result is composed by what ?
    
    in your page i see
    
    
    

    AGRICULTURE
    
    
    
    ADM Edible Bean Specialities
    
    1804 Front St. Casselton, ND 58012 347-5321
    
    thomas.stadler@adm.com www.adm.com
    
    
    
    Dalrymple Farms
    
    710 Front St. Casselton, ND 58012 347-4291
    
    www.fargo-history.com/early/dalrymple.htm
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    

    
    
    what is "agriculture" ? a categorie ?
    "ADM Edible Bean Specialities" is a title
    athers informations are values of differents custom fields, that's it ?

  • 11/16/11 2:04pm
    
    Dave Schmidt says:

    Agriculture is a custom taxonomy named "listing_category".
    ADM Edible Bean Specialities is the title of a custom post type named "community_listing".
    And yes, the information being populated is added via custom fields.

    Sébastien | French WordpressDesigner says:

    and you want an url like that
    
    http://casselton.com/dev/community-directory-categories?s=bonneville
    
    or like that
    
    http://casselton.com/dev/community-directory-categories
    
    for the result of the search "bonneville"
    
    ?

  • 11/16/11 2:27pm
    
    Dave Schmidt says:

    I think http://casselton.com/dev/community-directory-categories?s=bonneville would probably make more sense.
    
    Thanks,
