Describe the bug

The Search Results page uses headings in an incorrect order. In the current structure, level 3 and level 4 headings appear before the main page heading, and the hierarchy is not logically nested.

From the screenshot, examples include:

H3: Filters
H3: Advanced Search
H4: Filter by
H3: Settings
H4: Sort By
H4: Results per page
H1: Search Results

This makes the heading structure confusing for screen reader users and keyboard users who rely on headings to understand the page layout and navigate efficiently.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to the search page
  2. Use e.g. headings extension.

Expected behavior

The page should have a clear, hierarchical heading structure, for example:

H1: Search Results
H2: Filters
H3: Advanced Search
H3: Filter by
H2: Settings
H3: Sort By
H3: Results per page

The exact structure may vary, but heading levels should reflect the visual and semantic organization of the page.
