I have a view in sidebar showing a taxonomy Category. There is a view on /search-page that displays search using Search API view and exposed filters. I want the sidebar Categories to link to the search page with filtered category (/search-page?filter_category[]=13)

What would be a proper way of doing this?

I tried to do rewrite on the Name field in sidebar view.

  • "Rewrite the output of this field"
  • rewrite Text to [name]
  • checked the "Output this field as a link"
  • set Link Path to search-page?field_[machine_name]%5B%5D=[tid]
  • the links in sidebar get double escaped (it's a bug https://www.drupal.org/node/1342124)

In addition to the bug, I don't particularly like this way, because the path is hardcoded.

Is there a way to kind of link to the search view with some params instead so that Drupal handles the URL internally?

Actually it seems like the double escaping did work OK after all. A rewrote the URL to search-page?field_[machine_name][]=[tid] and it worked :)
