Set Default Search

    Hello,

    I was wondering if it’s possible to allow the frontend search to default to a specific field. For example, if people usually search for a “name” but sometimes search for a “phone number”, could I allow the search box to have “name” as the default field and still allow users to select other fields if they need to search for something else?

    Thank you for your help!

    Yes, there is a “default_search_field” attribute you can use to determine which field is selected by default…for example:

    [pdb_list search=true default_search_field=name ]

    Note that this must be the “name” of the field, not its title.
