Return search with Search values

Depending on how you are handling the search parameters you might want to use this:

$request->getQueryString()

Controller method:

public function listings(Request $request)
    {
        $data = $request->all();

        $listings = Listing::all();

        if($data){
            $listings = (new SearchListings($request))->search();
        }

        return view('listings', compact('listings'))->with('data');
    }

How does your form look like?

just a snippet:

<div class="form-group search-mls">
                    <label class="control-label" for="mlsnumber">MLS#</label>
                    <div>
                        <input id="mlsnumber" name="mlsnumber" placeholder="MLS#" class="form-control input-md" type="text" value="{{ $data ? $data['mlsnumber'] : "" }}">
                    </div>
                </div>

                <div class="form-group search-zip">
                    <label class="control-label" for="zipcode">Zip</label>
                    <div class="">
                        <input id="zipcode" name="zipcode" placeholder="Zip Code" class="form-control input-md" type="text" value="{{ $data ? $data['zipcode'] : "" }}">
                    </div>
                </div>

                <div class="form-group search-type">
                    <label class="control-label hidden-on-desktop" for="propertytype">Property Type</label>
                    <div class="">
                        <select id="propertytype" name="propertytype" class="form-control">
                            <option value="" selected="selected">Type</option>
                            <option value="Residential">Residential</option>
                            <option value="Townhouse">Townhouse / Condo</option>
                            <option value="Multi">Multi-Family</option>
                            <option value="Land">Land</option>
                            <option value="Commercial">Commercial / Business</option>
                        </select>
                    </div>
                </div>

the ternary operation for value is working for single inputs now. Stuck on the select boxes at the moment

just use the request helper in your forms

something like this

<input type="search" name="field" value="{{request('field')}}"/>

For select boxes just use javascript or any front end related tool an example in javascript

document.getElementById("selectBoxId").value = "{{ old("selectBoxName") }}";
