Important to know is that there are 4 limitations to this search type:

Search type 8 shows only over theme header media.
The auto-complete information resets when landing on the advanced search results. The user must select a new option for a new search.
Search type 8 works only with custom fields enabled.
The advanced search widget, shortcode, and mobile search sync with the custom fields set in theme options (not the tabs/auto-complete search).

The minim and maxim price values for each tab do not apply for Search type 8 since there is no price slider in the header, Price slider in Mobile Search, Half Map search fields, Search Widget, and Search Shortcode takes the value set in Advanced Search Settings:The minimum and maximum values for the price slider are set up on Theme Options > Search > Advanced search form.
