    Hello,

    Is there a way to set the advanced search results page so that it will display results that meet some or one of the criteria rather than just saying “there are no results” The problem now is that the visitor cannot see which of the criteria is the one yielding the “no results”.

    Thanks, you guys are great!

    Hi Lydia,

    for something like that you need to use multiselect fields and the OR operator.
    please see this topic for more info: https://wpgeodirectory.com/support/topic/customize-my-search-widget-2/

    Let us know how it goes,

    Thanks

    My Add Places screen doesn’t look like that. I don’t see the Search Operator field.

    You have to look in the setup for the Advanced Search.
    GD > Place Settings > Advanced Search tab
