Okay, the answer to this is probably that I should just do something entirely different, but here goes.

On my main directory page, I just have families listed (list_type=’family’). However, when someone searches for an individual’s name, I would like it to show that person’s individual entry and their family entry. It instead says it has no results.

Is there a workaround? I kind of understand that the problem is that I’m telling Connections to only display families, and there’s no family called whatever that person’s first name is, but they are listed as a member of that family, so…

Hmmm… here’s an idea that might work. So you shortcode looks something like the following, right?
[connections list_type="family"]

What you need to do is create a “Results” page and on that results page is use just the [connections] shortcode with no options … or … maybe just like this, [connections list_type="individual, organization"], so families are not returned in the result.

Now, on the main directory page page update your shortcode to be this:
[connections list_type="family" home_id="X"]

X for home_id should be set to the page ID of the “Results” page.

I think that should get you the results you looking for. Let me know.
