Reply To: I want to show search results on a new page with more filters on the result page

Hi,

The custom URL option is there, so that in cases, where the search results page URL is changed to a different permalink structure (via .htaccess or function), then it can be adapted to it.

While it sounds basic, It is not that simple unfortunately. WordPress uses query handlers to determine which theme files are included to display, and the search.php file is the one responsible of displaying search results. That file is completely in control of the layout.

There is a work in progress for a custom results shortcode, that could be placed to a page, and when the redirection is made to that page via a search bar, it will display the results as the page content.
