Jetboost: How To Set up Search and Filtering in Webflow

Watch: Jetboost: How To Set up Search and Filtering in Webflow

Set up one searchable collection first

This lesson covers Jetboost search and filtering for a Webflow CMS list. Jetboost's setup guide starts with choosing the Collection for a search booster.

1. Add a Collection List with a title, category, and link for each item.
2. Create a search booster in Jetboost and choose the matching Collection.
3. Follow its generated instructions for the script, search input, and list classes.
4. Add one category filter after search works.
5. Publish to staging and search for a known title.

Test partial terms, no matches, clearing the search, and search combined with a category. Add an empty-state message that explains how to reset the filters. Check keyboard access and the mobile layout before using the filters on a public page.

Finsweet Attributes provides another filtering approach. Use its current documentation; the older Attributes v1 guide is marked legacy. The Finsweet filtering article explains a different approach to the same task. Choose one system for the list so two scripts do not compete over its state.
