How Gravity Forms Frontend Search Works

Create searchable or predefined frontend entry displays using your existing Gravity Forms data and the familiar Gravity Forms workflow

1. Choose Your Entry Source

Select the existing Gravity Form whose entries you want to search, filter, map, or display. Your original form remains the source of truth.

2. Add Search Fields and Filters

Optionally add visitor-facing search fields using the Gravity Forms builder, then use predefined filters, field values, entry metadata, and sorting rules to control which entries appear.

3. Configure Results and Maps

Display entries as cards, lists, grids, tables, map markers, or a synchronized combination of results and maps. Configure sorting, pagination, and entry details as needed.

4. Embed It on Your Website

Add the configured Search to any page using the standard Gravity Forms block or shortcode. Entries can appear immediately or update when visitors apply filters.
