Understanding "Create a Page for your Results"

I don’t quite understand the principle of “results page”.

I’d like to have a page that has all posts with the Search&filters selection on top, customising posts display below based on filter selection above. Do I need to have the shortcode in the main page and have the results page as the page itself?

E.g. home/allposts to display all, plus a filter above. If I want to use Ajax and not reload the entire page, should I use the shortcode and as a result page use the home/allposts url? I hope it makes sense..

Thanks

What theme are you using (as this affects decisions to be made) and do you have a Page Builder plugin? What are you trying to filter – a single post type, or multiple post types?

Are you able to send me a live link/URL to your search page so I can take a look?

Theme is “Kleo”, website under constructions, but the basics should still work.

Few examples:
– At this page I have inserted the code and the results. Despite the custom css, the filter shows in a really messy way, and I’m struggling to make it vertically centered – with each box equal distanced and equal sized on the same line

– The real desired use though, would be on a page like this one, where I would have Map, Filter, adn a few Posts in masonry/grid I would have pre-selected. With the filter I would like to let users pick posts to display below it, effectively changing the masonry

If you look at the homepage https://billionwonders.com/, below the text “Post Masonry”, you see what Kleo automatically does. It’s quite nice, as with a single click the posts would disappear/re-appear without the page re-loading. It misses custom taxonomies and multiple hierarchical choices, hence why I decided to try S&F. Can I achieve something similar here?

Thanks

The results on that page look like they come from WPBakery Page Builder. If so, please read this post:

Ok I installed the file, it creates a plugin called:
Search & Filter Pro – WP Bakery Page Builder

Now help me understand better: should I use the Kleo or Post Grid, and select Search / Filter as a source? It seems to me that this picks up from my search and filter standard (non pro) installation I did before, and not much happens.. see https://billionwonders.com/search-form-test/ and screenshot https://ibb.co/jJWDzFW

What is the ideal set-up for what I described above?

I’m afraid I can’t Trevor, there are other customer data inside and I don’t have permission to share yet.
Assuming all the set-up is fine, do you have a walkthrough guide of what I need to do to visualise the end results I described above?
