Ah, you can only use Essential grid look and feel if you actually make the grid using Essential Grid.

I tried that at first, however I could not use the search dropdowns to select categories and filter the way I wanted only using the essential grid.

If I move them over to Essential grid, would I still be able to search like it is currently setup?

You would set the grid up in Essential Grid, but not use or show their filters. Instead, you wold use our form.

Is there a way to customize the look of the results through the search filter without using essential grid?

Our plugin does not style the results, no control what the results contain. It controls only which posts display. Using the shortcode method, you can edit the results.php file, but that is something you would do.

Last question. Are you familiar with Essential Grid enough to know where I would copy the script from them to place into the results.php file?

I am not sure that is possible. Normally, one would simply paste the grid shortcode on the page. There are previous posts in this forum saying how it should be done.

Are there other posts of people setting up custom taxonomies like you first told me to do AND use the essential grid?The first thing I was told by you is in order to get the search to function by category, I had to set up custom taxonomies. I now have about 200+ posts created in there.Are you saying if I switch them all from custom taxonomies, back to the essential grid, then I will be able to use the search form and the essential grid to feed in results?
