Hello.

I need to make a search bar with a filter by a HubDB column, which I’ve done with [this](https://designers.hubspot.com/docs/tutorials/how-to-build-a-real-estate-listing-with-hubdb) tutorial. I have a question if there is a way to place a search bar and a submit button to another page and show results as a dropdown list.

Or maybe I could modify the standart hubspot search so it can search by a hubdb field? Right now it has exactly the same functionality that I need except for the field it searches by.

You can use javascript to send the search query on to the url on submit and then use that query to fill out the results. Something like:

```auto
$('form').on('submit', function() {
 var query = $(this).find('input').val();

 window.location.href = "https://www.yoururl.com?query=" + query;
});

```

```auto
{% set filter = "columnName__icontains="~request.query_dict.query|urlencode %} 

{% for row in hubdb_table_rows(<tableId>, filter ) %}
{% endfor %}

```
