Search for Gravity Forms

Search Gravity Forms entries across one or many forms and display results anywhere on your site using shortcodes.

by Brightleaf Digital Paid Updated Oct 23, 2026

What it does

Finding and displaying specific Gravity Forms entries in posts, pages, or notifications normally requires custom PHP. Search for Gravity Forms handles this with shortcodes, so you can pull entries from one form, a few forms, or every form on your site without writing code.

You control which entries appear by setting filter conditions using operators like equals, contains, greater-than, and less-than. Results can be sorted, limited in number, and de-duplicated. You then shape the output with a display template that supports HTML, CSS classes, links, and field placeholders.

The add-on works in pages, posts, GravityViews, form confirmations, notifications, and PDFs. Shortcodes can also be nested for layered lookups. The premium version adds a visual shortcode builder with live preview, test runs, and a saved-shortcodes library.
