Exposed filters: The Basics

This session will explain and demonstrate how to create an exposed filter with the Views Module. Exposed filters allow you to provide drop-down menu or text fields so the site visitor can define criteria to filter a list of content created by the view. In essence you are creating a search for that specific page of content.Exposed filters can also be used as Blocks so you can place them in a different location but have it lead to the page listing.

This is a great way to extend your Views displays so that people can find what they are looking for without leaving the page.
