Search does not work

@tatianahenriquezg I did not have luck with the plugin so I decided to hand code a solution. Spent several hours doing some research on queries and custom search results using forms and got it working. Below is the code I used for my results.

<form method="get" id="search-form" action="url-of-search-page-here">
   <div class="homepg-search">

    <?php  wp_dropdown_categories('taxonomy=listing_type&name=listing_type'); ?>

    <input type="submit" value="Search" id="submitSelection" />

   </div>
</form>

<?php
$taxID = $_GET['listing_type']; // Grabbing the custom taxonomy term id
 $state = $_GET['state']; // If using state selection
 $paged = get_query_var('paged');
 if( $taxID ) :
 $args = array( // Building the arguments for the new query
 	'post_type' => 'listing',
 	'tax_query' => array(
 		array(
 			'taxonomy' => 'listing_type',
 			'field' => 'term_id',
 			'terms' => $taxID,
 		),
 	),
 	'posts_per_page' => 20,
  'paged' => $paged
 );

 $rQuery = new WP_Query( $args ); // Initializing the loop
 $count = $rQuery->found_posts; // Getting total number of results

else :
  $args = array(
    'post_type' => 'listing',
    'posts_per_page' => 8,
    'paged' => $paged,
    'tax_query' => array(
      array(
        'taxonomy' => 'state',
        'field' => 'slug',
        'terms' => $state,
      ),
    ),
  );

  $sQuery = new WP_Query( $args ); // Initializing state query loop
  $count = $sQuery->found_posts; // Getting total number of results
endif;
?>
