If you're building your website with Wix Editor (Classic Editor) and want to enhance your repeater with dynamic filtering, search bars, and sorting tools—this is the tutorial you’ve been looking for. At Wix Ideas, we create powerful, performance-driven websites using both Wix Editor and Wix Studio, and we’re here to help you master it too.
Why Smart Filters Make a Huge Difference
When your site has a lot of content—books, products, blog posts, or services—your users need a fast, intuitive way to find what they’re looking for. That’s where advanced filters come in.
In our latest Wix Editor tutorial, we guide you through how to:
Add a search bar that works across multiple fields (title, author, category)
Add a dropdown to sort items from new to old and vice versa
Filter content by categories
Use selection tags to search by multiple authors
Show a live item count of results displayed
Add a responsive preloader while filters are being applied
Include a “clear all” button to reset all filters
Scroll to the top when the page changes for better UX
This tutorial was built using Wix Classic Editor (Wix Editor), but the functionality can also be implemented in Wix Studio with similar logic and code.

Love the tutorial!!!
You are truly great at creating these instructional videos!! Thank you! I am having trouble figuring out . . 'the triggered email' . . it is not being sent to the user submitting the form, the form and the email to the admin works great. . Could you point me to where this might have already been addressed? or any other help? On a second note. .the submit button success/failure message will go back to the default message once it's connected to the data set(I couldn't figure that out either. )

Great Tutorial
Hi !
First of all, I want to thank you for your great tutorials, they helped us a lot with the coding.
But I still need your help, if you don't mind. I have based on Save Calculated Field using Wix Data Hooks Codes, to code my form . but the problem is I don't know why the code only reads the computation for "week2" computation and not the "weeks"
here is the code
I also did a separate column in the dataset where the chosen datas for both fields will be placed.
$w.onReady (() => {
$w("#Person").onChange(() => {
$w("#weeks").onChange(() => {
$w("#week2").onChange(() => {
let person = Number($w("#Person").value);
let weeks = Number($w("#weeks").value);
let week2 = Number($w("#week2").value);
$w("#totalLabel").show();
$w("#totalLabel").text = `"${String(weeks * Number(person))}페소"`; //DESIGN YOUR MESSAGE
$w("#totalLabel").text = `"${String(week2 * Number(person))}페소"`; //DESIGN YOUR MESSAGE
});
});
});
});

Hi there, thanks for your comment. I see why this is a problem. The onChange() function seems wrong in combination.
To combine onChangeFunctions use this method
$w("#Person, #weeks, #weeks2").onChange(() => {
//code here
});
