The search page displays all listings from your marketplace. Users can find the listing that they need through keyword search or location search, and by filtering and sorting different attributes. They can even find a listings by dragging and exploring a map.
Search page layout is configured in Console > Build > Design > Layout.
There are two different search page layouts that you can select from: Map view and Grid view.
Map view
The Map view of the search page displays the listings grid on the left and the map on the right. The map highlights the locations of several listings on your marketplace. This layout is excellent if your marketplace products or services are location-based.
Only listings that are within the map area that you are zooming over will be displayed in the search page. If you move the map, the search is refreshed to include listings from the new map area.
Location information used in the map can come from two different default fields: Location and pickup location. These fields are enabled or disabled when configuring the transaction settings of your Listing type. Learn more about default fields here.
The listing filters are displayed above the listing grid and to the left of the map. Category filters, default filters, and primary filters always appear. Secondary filters are accessible via the "More filters" menu.
Grid view
Grid view offers a bigger listings results grid. A sidebar to the left of the listings grid shows all filters. Grid view is the suggested layout for marketplaces where location is not important during the search experience.
Filters are displayed more prominently in this layout. All filters are visible in the sidebar to the left of the listing grid. Category filters are shown first, followed by primary filters, default filters, and then secondary filters. Filters in the sidebar can be scrolled independently of the listing grid.
Search page filtering and sorting
In both Map view and Grid view, users can narrow their search results using filters and sorting.
