Thanks for the video.
We should resolve the search issue first. Our plugin does not directly allow you to do text searches of individual Post Meta (custom fields) and Taxonomy (Category, Tags and Taxonomies) data/terms. The Search & Filter Pro Text Search field uses the standard WordPress search, so looks only in the Post Title and Content. To help you control this better, on the form’s Advanced settings tab you will see 2 settings for Relevanssi.
The documentation for this is here:
https://www.designsandcode.com/documentation/search-filter-pro/3rd-party/relevanssi/
You would need to install and activate the free Relevanssi plugin as well.
Then set Relevanssi up and build its index (make sure it is indexing the desired post types, custom fields AND any taxonomy that you want to search).
To figure out the link to the results (the Display Results Method), are you able to send me a live link/URL to your search page so I can take a look?
I need to know what theme you are using, and if you have a page builder (plugin) that you are using to make that grid.
As you are using WP Engine for your hosting (I can see from the video), this post might be relevant also:

An alternative possibility is to make a new page in WordPress for the search results and make the content using Elementor Pro, as we now have a free additional extension for Elementor Pro, which you should download (if you are logged in) from top of this guide page:
