Hello Minesh,
I did as you suggested and contacted both Relevannsi and Generatepress to see if it was the search tool or theme and after their investigations, we seem to be back where we were yesterday – see their feedback below.

We almost have the solution, but for this strange ###SPACE### which we see in the Toolset custom post search results.
I would be very grateful if you could have another look at this to see if it is a Toolset issue as it is in custom post search.
Your credentials are still active.
Best,
BillD

Its not a theme issue, as GP doesn’t know of or interfere with the content.
As the content is being generated by Toolset you should check with them.

Any idea what this is? I would be very grateful for any advice you may
> have or links to solutions so that I can eliminate the ###SPACE###.

Something's adding this, likely replacing spaces with this placeholder in order to keep them in place while doing something, and then not replacing the placeholder with an actual space. It is not Relevanssi, but something else. I'd search your theme functions.php for this to see if it's coming from there.

I didnt added any shortcode - I just called it. The shortcode resides in functions.php file of your theme which you already added.
Just one other question: Did you see the 'error' in yellow for one of the highlighted words further down the page?
: ###SPACE###Contract of service

That is not from Toolset, it should be how relevanssi manages space or something. You should check with them.

What if you disable the shortcode for a moment and then check, does that SPACE issue resolved with you removed the shortcode I shared?

[BillD]

Well, I don't know what you did... but it seems to be fine now. The ###SPACE### has gone.
Just so I know did you change something?

[Minesh]

Yes - I've adjusted the shortcode as given under:

function highlight_keyword_func($atts, $content) {
    $content = do_shortcode(trim($content));
    if(isset($_GET['wpv_post_search'])){
        $content = relevanssi_highlight_terms(str_replace("###SPACE###"," ",$content), $_GET['wpv_post_search']);
      
     
    }
    return $content;
}
add_shortcode( 'highlight-keyword', 'highlight_keyword_func' );

And the shortcode is moved to "Custom Code" section of Toolset so its easy to edit.
