I'd like to have a search box on the top of my search table (archive-incsub_event.php).
The search criteria would be:
[title] [category <select>] and [group <select>].
The results should be loaded and displayed on the Events page.
Is there a way to accomplish this?

Hey there.
The search is handled by WordPress, you can create custom searches:

But this will require some custom coding. You would also need some custom code to be able to filter by category. For this you may need to hire a developer.
Take care.

Thanks for your response.
I am a developer and was wondering if there is a built-in search that I wasn't aware of. I can create a search page, but am surprised to find it doesn't already exist.
The current project I'm working on has hundreds of events; so, the events listing is useless without being able to search/filter.

WordPress handle the search options for all custom posts.
If you wanted to alter how the WordPress search functions you would need to code something up. The link I provided in my last post gives details on customising the search.
Thanks.
