Rule Configuration:

• Action: Show
• Condition:
  • Field: Search Box
  • Operator: contains
  • Value: USA
• Match: All Conditions (AND)

Result

The Location search field will only appear if the user types USA in the Search Box.

If the Search Box does not contain “USA”, the Location field will remain hidden.
