How to Display User Profiles in the Search Results Area

Create a page in the page builder you like. In this case, we used Elementor.

Find the Ajax Search widget/block/element in the search bar and drag and drop the widget to the page.

Set the needed options in the widget’s settings. To learn how to manage other Ajax Search widget settings, read the Ajax Search Settings Overview.

Unroll the Additional Results tab of the Content settings.

Then, activate the Users Search Source toggle.

Here, we set the following in the fields and drop-down lists that appeared:

• typed the listing’s title in the Title field (the “Agents” listing, in the given case);
• picked the Listing to display the found user (the “Listing for users” listing in this tutorial);
• left the default value in the Limit field.

Once completed, press the “Publish” button.

Navigate to the front end to observe how the widget works.

In the search bar, we typed the first three characters of the agent’s name. Then, the widget returns the user profile data and the CPT posts that contain a request in their title or content.

The tutorial How to Create Custom Post Types in WordPress explains how to manage the CPT post settings.
