Hi Jerry

You are correct, so what you would probably want to do is add it to the query args in here:

$patient_story_args = array(
	'post_type' => 'patient_story',
	'posts_per_page' => -1,
	'tax_query' => array(
		array(
			'taxonomy' => 'patient_story_type',
			'field' => 'slug',
			'terms' => $patient_story_type->slug,
		),
		array(
			'taxonomy' => 'patient_story_type',
			'terms' => array('featured'),
			'field' => 'slug',
			'operator' => 'NOT IN',
		),
	),
);

So it would become:

$patient_story_args = array(
	'post_type' => 'patient_story',
	'posts_per_page' => -1,
	'tax_query' => array(
		array(
			'taxonomy' => 'patient_story_type',
			'field' => 'slug',
			'terms' => $patient_story_type->slug,
		),
		array(
			'taxonomy' => 'patient_story_type',
			'terms' => array('featured'),
			'field' => 'slug',
			'operator' => 'NOT IN',
		),
	),
	'search_filter_id' => '123456',
);

Where 123456 is the ID of your search form.

I might add though, if you have a lot of posts (over a few hundred), then this approach might start to become slow, because you are running multiple WP_Query – there might be a better (but probably much more complicated) way of doing it in that case.

Best
