I need an advanced search feature added to my existing WordPress site. The search bar must live in the sidebar and let visitors drill down through custom filters—think multiple taxonomies, post types, and any custom fields I specify. Results should appear quickly (AJAX preferred), respect pagination, and inherit my theme’s styling so the look stays consistent. You’re free to build from scratch or extend a solid plugin such as FacetWP, SearchWP, or a custom WP_Query solution—whatever meets the goals cleanly without bloating the site. I’ll provide a staging environment, a list of the filters we need, and admin access. Deliverables • Fully-functional sidebar search bar with custom filters • Responsive styling that matches current theme • Clear documentation or screencast showing how to add / edit filters • Tested on desktop and mobile, with no console errors I’ll consider the job complete once the feature is live on staging, passes my test cases, and can be migrated to production with one click (I use WP-Migrate DB Pro).

Hi Eunsook — this is Dino from the original project. The additional features from revision 2 (delete, merge, bulk edit, 77 virtual fields, timezone, checkbox import fix, etc.) are already built, tested, and live on the sandbox. 29 test suites, 198 tests all passing. Ready to close out. Thanks, Dino

Hi, hope you're doing well! I'd love to help you build this advanced search feature for your WordPress site. Here's my approach: AJAX-powered sidebar search with custom taxonomy, post type, and field filters. I'll use FacetWP or a clean WP_Query solution depending on what suits your setup best. Styling will inherit your theme so nothing looks out of place. I'll also include a short screencast showing how to manage filters going forward. A few questions to help me plan this properly: 1. How many filters are you expecting roughly, and are any of them dependent on each other (e.g., selecting one narrows another)? 2. Do you have a preferred plugin already installed, or are you open to my recommendation based on your theme and hosting setup? 3. Is there a deadline you're working toward, or is this more of an ongoing improvement? Ready to get started once I hear from you! Azeem Amin

Hi there, I will build your sidebar search with AJAX filtering across your custom taxonomies, post types, and custom fields, with fast results and pagination that matches your theme styling. For the approach, I will evaluate whether extending FacetWP or writing a custom WP_Query solution keeps the site lighter. The key thing is indexing: without proper query optimization, filtered searches on multiple taxonomies slow down fast. I will make sure the queries are tight and the AJAX responses stay snappy. Questions: 1) How many custom taxonomies and post types are we filtering across? 2) Do any of the custom fields hold repeater or nested data (like ACF groups)? Send me a message and we can go over the details. Best regards, Kamran
