Hi! I hope someone can help me.
I need to do a search like this: http://www.clubhabitue.com.br/index.php
I’m using k2 and JAK2 Extra Fields search filter. I created two categories: restaurants and services with 3 extrafields ( 3 differents cities). The problem is that when the restaurant search are in a position above the service search only works the restaurant search, and when the services search are above the restaurant search only works the services search.
