Hi

Is there a way to make the advanced search button more obvious to users? I would like encourage users to use the advanced search as much as possible but feel like the option is a bit hidden. Is there a different way to show the filters on a specific map?

Hi Jonny,

Have a look at the GD Search widget settings in the GD Search page settings.
Change the “Open customize my search from:” setting. http://prntscr.com/ecg6fl . This would force the advanced search to open by default. What do you mean by “different way to show the filters on a specific map”?

Thanks!

okay got it working now, thanks for that.

Is there any way to remove the “search for” box but keep the location search box? It doesn’t make much sense for a user to click select a category for example my bike shop category then type bike shop in the first search box. They are obviously looking for a bike shop because they have clicked in to the bike shop category.

Hi I had the same issue.
Here is how to remove it.

.sd.home .gd-search-field-search {
display: none;
}

Hi,

that CSS will only work on the Supreme theme home page.

For all forms on any websites, this is the CSS:
```
.gd-search-field-search {
display: none;
}
```
Thanks
