Hello, I'm not quite clear but it sounds like you want to display a custom search View on a specific Page or post. You also want to pre-set one or more filter options based on the taxonomy terms associated with the specific Page or post where the View is shown. Is that correct?

If so, then there's nothing exactly like this built-in to Views. In a custom search View, the only way to pre-set some filter value is to use a URL parameter in your link to the page that contains the View, like this:

<em><u>hidden link</u></em>

If I have misunderstood what you want to accomplish, please provide more information for me to review.
