Place a filter widget on the editing page; for example, I used the Search Filter widget to display the search filter.
In the Select Filter field, pick the created filter, and choose the “Elementor Pro Loop Grid” in the This filter for field. Set other settings according to your needs.

When you finish, hit the “Update/Publish” button.
