    If you go to my site VeganWalk.com and search the “Food and Drink” category using the search button the listings/search page you’ll end up on doesn’t show the filters. https://veganlinked.com/?geodir_search=1&stype=gd_food&sgd_foodcategory%5B%5D=&s=+&snear=&sgeo_lat=&sgeo_lon=

    If you go to the Food category directly the filter is there:
    https://veganlinked.com/food/

    In the attached image I’m hovering over/highlighting the filter, drop down. This should be on the listings/search page too.

    Those are the sorting options, and they are only available on listing pages, not search pages.

    The listings still have qualifications that need to be filtered. Both listings pages and search pages are a long list of listings that need to equivocally be filtered. They even look identical, a long list of listings. The filter should be in both locations as it is needed in one location as much as it is needed in the other, it’s actually needed more in the search area. Filtering needs to be an option in both pages. This is very critical.

    This can apply to really anything. Let me give you just one example. On veganlinked.com if you click food you get the listings page for all the food locations. They may be vegan or nonvegan food locations. Most people will not want to see all of the food locations in the world though. So, they’re going to search and come to a page just like the food category listings page. This will be a food category listings page too but based on location, you guys call it a search page. Just like the listing page the search page is a long list of food locations. And again it is important for people to be able to filter the food by vegan or nonvegan.

    When someone is literally searching they will definitely want to filter their search. It is far more important to filter during a search than it is any other time. Can someone please make it so the filter is on the search page too? This is very important.

    Anytime someone is searching for anything they may want to filter it. There are countless examples of how and why filtering would be extremely more than ideal to have along in the search results “search pages”.

    So, the search page filter would “only show” what is selected and by location.
