Taxonomies and Meta Fields Search Options

Guide on how to set up and manage taxonomies and meta fields search options

Taxonomies or meta fields options have their own inner settings that are enabling you to set up how they will be displayed to a user. You can start setting them up by clicking on any taxonomy or meta fields box in the search builder.

The two options are the same for every field type that is possible to be created using the field builder.

Common options

Those two options are Label and Placeholder. They are allowing you to set up name and the input placeholder of every field that you have on the site for each category independently.

Specific options

Also, there are a set of specific options for some of the field types that are available. If you try to edit the taxonomy that has field type input or if you try to edit the price field from the Fields Meta fields you will be able to set up the following fields.

Price - Prefix and Suffix fields

Taxonomy (input type) - Prefix, Suffix and Steps size for the range field

Prefix and Suffix

Once you set up prefix and suffix fields the field in the search form will display it before and/or after the taxonomy depending on your setup. This option enables us to set up the price sign so that it can be displayed on the frontend in the format similar to this: $100

Steps size

If you choose your taxonomy field type to be input then on the frontend search form it will be display in the form of the range field created of the values entered by the users. That has the potential to break the site if left unmanaged and to prevent that the site will use default steps size between the values, but you can override it using this field.

So, if the field in question, for example, is the car horsepower and you set the step size 10, the users will be able to choose in this format: 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 etc.
