Hi, I am wokirng on an realestate website, where I like to show fields when the item is for sale and another set of fields when the item is for rent, EXAMPLE:sale and rent will be switch input radio obutton If item is for rent show fields 1- rent duration and it is a drop down select with some values 2- rent value which will be text input .

and hide the fields linked to the sale

If item for sale: I like to show 1- sale price which is text field 2- installments which will be dropdown list

and hide the fields linked to the rent

These fields should be show/hide in both input view where user add items, and in user view where guests see these values.

Is that possible?

Seconf question is, I like the follow section and follow category options, can I use same option to follow some search result of a filtered result, lets say some 1 like to see if new items added that meets some filter criteria based on my searchable fields, can this be done? Thank you.

1.) Conditional fields are possible. But not available by configuration, yet. So, you would have to create custom templates, where you check a certain field and its value... than condition the output accordingly.

Conditional fields has been discussed since C7. AFAIK, the idea/request has been accepted.

An alternative could be to create 2 separate types. Cobalt allows multi-type sections. Each type will get the unique fields and a copy of the common fields. Common fields should have the same label/name and should work in filters and sorting order. Tip: If you have a lot of common fields, it might get tedious. You can create 1 type as a "template", and copy that type with all the existing fields.

2.) Unfortunately no. But it has been discussed and requested before. Might be changed in C9.
(BTW, the Cobalt pre-decessor "Resources" offered an RSS feed of the current search. Not sure why it did not make into Cobalt... @Sergey?!)

Here is a related topic and discussion about submission form. Comments might be of help...

For custom article list and full view, you should read the documentation about "templates".
