With drupal 6 I could easily choose to have the exposed filters in a separate block which I could then put on the sidebar. I can't figure out how to do that in drupal 7. Anyone know? Thanks, Diana

  1. Create a page view

  2. Adjust the settings

  3. Make sure you expand the advanced tab

For D7 blocks, setting 'Use AJAX' to Yes worked for me.

Also, with two blocks on the same page filtering the same fields (but different data/views), it seems applying a filter from one block affects both blocks. Not sure how to work around that yet.

Clarification: In Advanced -> Other, set 'Use AJAX' to Yes

For D7 use module - Views Block Exposed Filter Blocks https://www.drupal.org/project/views_block_filter_block

After enable this module you will see new settings in Exposed Form fieldset see screenshot - example

This solution also works with panels.
