Exposed forms as blocks

If your view utilizes exposed filters, you have the option to place the exposed form in a block. With this option enabled, you may place the block anywhere on the page, even pages not for your view.

An example of using an exposed form in a block is for a search result view. You will add an exposed filter for keywords that control the search results. With the exposed filters in a block, you can easily place it in your site's header. When an exposed filter block is submitted, it will direct users to your view's display.

In the options modal that opens, select the Yes radio button, and click on Apply. You can then place the block from the Block layout form:
