Hi,
The problems were caused by a misconfiguration under the Frontend Search Settings panel. A lot if items were choosen for filtering, but the front-end options were actually not in use. I have removed those filters, and now it works correctly.
With the settings shortcode, or by using the shortcode builder it may be possible. This tutorial also has a similar layout search, that may be interesting for you: Staff Search & Filter setup demo
