I have been looking for the solution of my problem, but I could not find one. I have a wordpress site in which I have two search forms. The search forms are displaying according to the page parameter. Both search forms have hidden input field with different values. So both forms go to their respective search functions based on the hidden input value.
The problem is that the hidden input value is also included in the search query which results in displaying no results. So, I want to exclude this hidden input field from search query. So please help me out.
Here is the code for search forms.
<form class="form-inline" id="searchPropertyForm" role="search" method="get" action="<?php echo esc_url($search_submit); ?>">
<input type="hidden" name="sort" id="sort" value="newest" />
