Hello again, Yesterday, we shared a [video showcasing the new Accordion Component](https://forums.realmacsoftware.com/t/dev-diary-ep60-new-accordion-component/46218), and today, we’re back with another video—and **another brand-new component!** Introducing the **Filter Component**. Watch the video below to see what it can do and how you can use it in your projects. **Both the Accordion and Filter components will be available in a new beta later this week.** We’ll also share the demo files from the videos alongside the beta release. _Two days, two new components. I wonder what tomorrow will bring…_ [![](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/5/0/506535c914e47a9fe609f22dca27c53659b50aa5.jpeg "Dev Diary Ep61 - You can Filter what now?!") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fwi-Jvk1Jaw) ## Suggest a Feature Don’t forget you can vote and suggest the features you want on our [open Roadmap page](https://elements.nolt.io). ## Get the Beta If you’d like an invite to the private beta, just post a reply in this thread, and we’ll email you an invite with all the details! 😀 ## Thanks for Your Feedback As always, keep the feedback coming.

Another excellent addition to the list of components. This one is going to huge for some of my sites with information heavy pages. Mahalo! ---

@dan Not, sure yet, as haven’t seen the code, but you kept mentioning ids for targeting for filter. I wouldn’t recommend using multiple instances of same id, which is not following standards compliance, will break screen readers and may cause problems with other 3rd-party scripts in the future. Simple fix, just use a class or data attribute. ---

No worries—we’re actually handling this properly in Elements using Alpine.js and x-data, so everything is scoped correctly using data attributes. Appreciate the concern, but all is good on this front! 😊 ---

It’s great what the filter can do - but is it possible to do a search on a web page and its underlying pages without having to create an ID in all containers? ---

> [@bjarne.larsen](#): > > is it possible to do a search on a web page and its underlying pages I just want to say that this Filter component should not be considered as a full site-wide search. To clarify, the Filter component is designed exclusively for narrowing down content already displayed on a single page—it lets visitors refine what’s visible within a specific container or group. This is different from a Search component, which retrieves content from across an entire website based on user-entered keywords. - **Website Search:** Retrieves content from the entire site using user queries. - **Web Page Filtering:** Narrows down content already loaded on the page using predefined criteria. We want to add full site-wide search functionality to Elements in the future. ---
