Low Search results not returning all entries for a particular category

Eric Nance 16 Jun 2015 19:55 question, complete

I have a Low Search form with category selects on a page for a real estate development website.

http://l45living.com/floor-plans

The form allows the user to filter through the available apartments with a series of questions. The first form field is to choose the number of bedrooms. When you select "Two Bedrooms" it returns some entries categorized with the "two-bedroom" category, but not all entries. It returns 19 entries.

There is another page on the website that allows you to view all units for a particular number of bedrooms. The Two Bedroom page for all entries is located at:

http://l45living.com/floor-plans/all/...

This page uses a Channel Entries tag to display all entries with the "two-bedroom" category. This page returns 81 entries.

Why doesn't the Low Search results page display the same number of entries? Shouldn't it also show all 81 entries with the "two-bedroom" category?

    Does adding dynamic="no" to the Results tag make a difference?

    Unfortunately, no. Same results.

    I'll need to take a look myself. Please send SuperAdmin login credentials to hi at gotolow dot com if you can.

    Ok, credentials sent.

    The option "Are you bringing a pet? Undecided at the moment" has a category id of 27, which results in a query of category="3&27" when submitting the form. This URL contains only category="3" and has more results: http://l45living.com/floor-plans/sear...

    Change the other dropdown, and you should be good.

    Brilliant! That's it. That category was really throwing me for a loop. I removed that and it's all working perfectly now.

    Thanks so much.
