A generic search results page rarely matches the rest of an Elementor-built site, and WordPress’s own search doesn’t update live as a visitor types.
Dynamic Listing’s Search List post listing type connects to one of the plugin’s own search widgets – Search Filter or Search Bar – so results render inside your own Elementor-designed card style and can update instantly.
For the full settings tour of the Dynamic Listing widget, see Dynamic Listing Widget Settings Overview.
Requirement – This widget is a part of The Plus Addons for Elementor Pro, make sure it’s installed & activated to enjoy all its powers.
Before You Start
- Prerequisite: Elementor (free) installed and active.
- Edition: Dynamic Listing is a Pro widget – it needs The Plus Addons for Elementor Pro installed and its license activated. It will not appear in the free plugin.

Steps
- Add the Dynamic Listing widget to the page, alongside a Search Filter or Search Bar widget.
