Thread: Display Category/Sub Category count matching the search criteria

Display Category/Sub Category count matching the search criteria

I was wondering if there is way to display categories/sub categories count based on the search criteria.

For eg. if I type "motor" in the search box selecting "All Categories" and let's say I get 10 records under 2 categories:

Search for "motor" returned 10 results:

Ad Categories
- Vehicles (9)
- Books (1)

Ad Sub Categories
- Car (2)
- Truck (2)
- Motorcycle (5)

Can I achieve this?

It should be straight forward, because I see the category name in the search result. All I can think is need to count the records for each category and update the Ad categories/Ad sub categories widget to update the count based on the results returned.

Thanks!
