Hi Ian,
Thank you very much, I was able to log-in, but the account has no privileges to access most of the back-end, please see: https://i.imgur.com/GKqc3sx.png
I will try to answer some without the access:
2) This has been already answered a few days ago, see topic here.
4) The best course of action in this case is to use 2 different search bars – one without settings, which redirects to the results page, and one for the results page, where the settings are set to be visible, like so: https://i.imgur.com/D5FLhGg.png
So when the first search bar redirects, the user can use the second one to refine the results as he likes.
