ksp — Tue, 17 Apr 2018 11:13:59 GMT

Hello all,

I would like to do a search option something like below :

https://www.crestron.com/en-US/Support

There should be a drop-down filter as well as custom search filter as well..

Could somebody please help on this!!!

If you have your website in Hubspot there is a new search feature in beta which you can use for that, but first you need to join the beta.

Then you will have two new custom modules where you can tweak to get a result similar at what you want 😉

I suggest to you to join the slack channel so you can get a better support directly from the team who is developing the feature.

Many thanks for your reply.

Yes, my site is in hubspot,

URL : https://www.eurosystemsgroup.com/download-centre?hsCtaTracking=41bbedbb-11cb-4686-bb46-42679be11ac5%7C675cb30f-4a46-44de-a170-b178f3ca0dfc

I want this search "https://www.crestron.com/en-US/Support" in my project(Euro Systems).

I tried to implement google search but didn't work well.

And also, I am already using Slack for my company purpose, how will I join Hubspot Slack community.

Do you have access to HubDB? I would generate these resources via a HubDB table and then you can create a search for those by using filtering of the hubDB (for the dropdown) to pull back the information you need and some JS for the actual typing portion of the search.

The HubSpot Beta Search will allow you to search pages on your site, not so much content filtering on a page which is what it appears you are looking to do, correct?

I dont have access to hubDB.

Basically when you check this page "https://www.eurosystemsgroup.com/download-centre?hsCtaTracking=41bbedbb-11cb-4686-bb46-42679be11ac5%7C675cb30f-4a46-44de-a170-b178f3ca0dfc" this has a lot of downloads.

As of now its labeled as only "commercial", but when the actual content comes there will be a lot of categories for downloads.

So as per the discussion with the project manager i have created a landing page like this "https://preview.hs-sites.com/_hcms/preview/template/multi?is_buffered_template_layout=true&portalId=3017451&tc_deviceCategory=desktop&template_layout_id=5708205117#base"

Now i need a search/ dropdown search

You could try to incorporate something like https://www.kunkalabs.com/mixitup/ for sorting/filtering. It looks like with this you can also incorporate the search bar text input as well (see here for example links and some chatter on it https://github.com/patrickkunka/mixitup/issues/398)

That should help do the trick.
