Hi Dany!
If you wish to create and use filters, I recommend checking the taxonomy term and custom field filters tutorials (depending on what you need).
For taxonomy terms, you can change the filter display mode here: https://i.imgur.com/rDdOC9M.png
Then, you can either set the visibility of the settings to visible at all times here: https://i.imgur.com/cwsB22d.png
..or you can also use the shortcode generator to create a side-by-side layout for the search and settings box. In your case something like:
[wd_asp elements='search,settings' ratio='60%,39%' id=1]
