Views Exposed Field Filter

Synopsis

This module allows users to expose fields to visitors. It adds another filter with the Exposed fields filter in filter criteria.

User can add a keyword and select a field to search that keyword in. If the field dropdown is not selected it will search the keyword in all the fields which are exposed to visitors.

Installation and Usage.

Copy the module somewhere in your module directory and enable it. Create a view which should list something. Now under filter criteria add a new filter . In the options you will see views exposed filter. Select it and choose those fields which you would like to expose to visitors and go ahead and finish other things with views.

On views listing page you will see a new exposed filter which would have two fields term and dropdown contains fields.

Enter a word "Foe" in the keyword field and select a field eg title. I will filter all those records having the word foe in their title field.
