Tell us what you are trying to do?
I am trying to make use of filters and I have 3 questions:
1. Is it possible to display the filters on the left of the results inside an archive page like this?
hidden link
2. Open taxonomy
It is possible to have some of the filters to create and open a different URL/taxonomy instead of a search page (for SEO reasons)? For example, click Mid Market in the link above.
3. Use Ajax Search or Relevannsi?
I saw mentioned Relevannsi as a recommended tool for search. Are there other plugins that work well too? For example, I had a great experience with Ajax Search in the past.
Thank you.
Is there any documentation that you are following?
No.
Is there a similar example that we can see?
I gave the example above.
What is the link to your site?
No site.
Hello,
Q1) Is it possible to display the filters on the left of the results inside an archive page like this?
You can setup a Toolset WordPress archive, format it with grid block:
https://toolset.com/block-item/grid/
In the left column, display the search form, and in the right column display the search result.
Q2) Open taxonomy
No, there isn't such kind of built-in feature, you might consider to setup taxonomy view, and output term's archive link, so user can click the link, and redirect to the link you mentioned above:
[wpv-taxonomy-link]
Output the taxonomy title within a link.

Q3) Use Ajax Search or Relevannsi?
There is a misunderstanding, Relevannsi works for customize the query of WordPress native search, you can still use Toolset WordPress Archive to style and format the search result, and add AJAX custom search form in this WordPress Archive.

If I display the search and filters in the left column of the grid won't this repeat show it for every item in the loop?
What I am trying to achieve is the filters to display on the page in the left column and the loop display in the right column.
I did watch the videos but they are at the top to keep them outside the loop.
Thank you.
No, it won't repeat. You just need to drag/drop the "WordPress Archive Search" block into left column and "WordPress Archive Output" block to the right column
My issue is resolved now. Thank you!
