Can we have separate search form for different custom types?

As we transition to the new Hyland Community, some post links may be temporarily disrupted as we finalize redirects. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. Details.

There are 3 types. They all have 5 properties in common, then each of them have their own set of properties. 
I have created a base type, with an aspect of the 5 common properties.
Then 3 different aspects to cover specific properties of the 3 types.

In the share-config-custom.xml, I do not know any means to accomplish different forms for each of these types.

<config evaluator="string-compare" condition="AdvancedSearch"> ... 
...
<form labelId="search.form.label.my_custom_Type1" descriptionId="search.form.desc.my_custom_Type1">my_custom:Type1</form>
<form labelId="search.form.label.my_custom_Type1" descriptionId="search.form.desc.my_custom_Type1">my_custom:Type2</form>
...                
</config>

In this I have given a form entry for each of the types. 

Should I create separate search form for each of this type, to accomplish this?
I never have done this. I would like to confirm.

<config evaluator="model-type" condition="my_custom:Type1">
        <forms>
            <form> ... </form>
            <form id="search"> ... </form>
      </forms>
</config>
<config evaluator="model-type" condition="my_custom:Type2">
        <forms>
            <form> ... </form>
            <form id="search"> ... </form>
      </forms>
</config>

That is correct, you have to include the properties defined in the aspect in each of the form (with id ='search').  

<config evaluator="model-type" condition="my_custom:Type1">
	<forms>
		<form id="search">
			<field-visibility>
                             <!-- properties from this type -->
                                ......
                                ....
                                <!-- common properties from the aspect -->
				<show id="my_custom:prop1"
    					force="true"/>
				<show id="my_custom:prop2"
    					force="true"/>
				<show id="my_custom:prop3"
    					force="true"/>
				<show id="my_custom:prop4"
    					force="true"/>
			</field-visibility>
			.......
			......
		</form>
	</forms>
</config>

<config evaluator="model-type" condition="my_custom:Type2">
	<forms>
		<form id="search">
			<field-visibility>
                                <!-- properties from this type -->
                                ......
                                ....
                                <!-- common properties from the aspect -->
				<show id="my_custom:prop1"
    					force="true"/>
				<show id="my_custom:prop2"
    					force="true"/>
				<show id="my_custom:prop3"
    					force="true"/>
				<show id="my_custom:prop4"
    					force="true"/>
			</field-visibility>
			.......
			......
		</form>
	</forms>
</config>
