## Dynamic filters - Filter this list
* These buttons and inputs can be added only in the collection list wrapper, just like forms.
* These elements will pull data only from the CMS collection the collection list is bound to.
* These elements don't bind to fields, but to settings. Example:
- The toggle switch is a filter setting that binds to switches.
- The custom filter button is a filter setting that binds to a text field with a value the designer has specified, while
- The custom value input allows the site visitor to add that value. And
- The select element does the same but with references.
- Filters can be grouped (as radio buttons) to add the parameters. Ungrouped buttons reset all other filters.
## Dynamic Sorting - Sort this list
* Sort by select buttons are sort order settings that bind any field that can be sorted.
- These all will display the same settings we, the designers, use in the collection list settings in the right panel.
## Dynamic Search - search this list
* The search bar is the same search bar in the collection manager. It allows one to search as they type in the name field only
Also - This might help things along!

Examples of why this is essential from a user/client standpoint:
- Filtering real estate listings by text string, proximity to a location, number or rooms, price range
- Filtering eCommerce products by text-string, price sliders, colour, manufacturer, category, custom CMS tags etc
- Filtering directory sites by text-string, custom CMS feature tags/fields, category, location, star rating etc
Algolia offers an online demo of lightning fast, faceted search nirvana at https://www.algolia.com/product for anyone who hasn't seen what a perfected ajax search experience can add to the user experience.
Will this function be available soon?
Also the ability to customize the whole experience example as I mention above adding custom filters...
That idea would perfectly reflect what I am saying if it says "Faceted search functionality" and the explanation contains related keywords like filtering, sorting, etc.
Anna can you clarify what you'd like besides what's already mentioned in this idea https://wishlist.webflow.com/ideas/OTHER-I-8
