hidden link
The search results, i.e. how many records were returned can only be positioned in the Output area and not in the Search area. Since that is way down the page, the user clicks Search or Filter and thinks nothing happened. It needs to be clear that results are returned.

The easiest solution is to take them to the output with an anchor link, i.e. after the search results are returned a javascript function sends them to #list which is here hidden link

But as far as I know there is no way to attach a JS script to an event for the search.

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

You can add the custom JavaScript to your view block:
- https://toolset.com/course-lesson/adding-custom-javascript-to-views-templates-and-archives/#steps-for-adding-javascript-to-a-view

You can even add a ajax javascript hook:
- https://toolset.com/documentation/programmer-reference/adding-custom-javascript-code-to-views-that-use-ajax/

The code should look like something:

jQuery( document ).on( 'js_event_wpv_parametric_search_results_updated', function( event, data ) {
    /**
    * data.view_unique_id (string) The View unique ID hash
    * data.layout (object) The jQuery object for the View layout wrapper
    */
 
 var TopPosition = jQuery('#list').offset().top;
      
 jQuery('html, body').animate({scrollTop:TopPosition }, 'slow');
   
      
});

- You can add the desired JS code to above custom JS hook.
