This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem: I would like to use a custom label when displaying a custom search filter.
Solution: You can hide the default label using the custom search field settings and provide your own custom label using other blocks in the search filters area.

Hi, you are correct that the label is based on the filter being displayed. If it's a custom field filter, that is usually the field name. If it's a taxonomy filter, it's usually the taxonomy name, and so on. You can change the field name in Toolset > Custom Fields when you edit the field group, but that will also change the name of the field in wp-admin when editing posts. If you'd prefer to use a custom label in the search form but keep the field name as it is in wp-admin, there's nothing exactly like that built into the Blocks system. Instead, you can select the custom search filter and use the toggle switch to turn off the label display (see the screenshot Screen Shot 2021-02-03 at 11.57.20 AM.png), then add your own custom text in the block editor using a paragraph block or something similar. Click the "Add Other Blocks" button in the search area (see the screenshot Screen Shot 2021-02-03 at 12.01.55 PM.png) to insert a paragraph block or some other block to display a custom text label.
Let me know if you have questions about implementing this in the block editor, and I can give more guidance.
