Hi @engcom-Bravo ,
thanks for the feedback.
To reproduce the issue you have to set the attribute "Display mode" on the default category es. "Default Category" with value "Static block only" or "Static block and products", not on the "Test" category.
Then go to homepage and do a product search, layered navigation block will not be visible in the search result page (sorry, I forgot to write it clearly in the steps).

Step to reproduce

1. Create a product attribute of type dropdown, add two options and configure storefront properties with
   • Use in Search: Yes
   • Use in Layered Navigation : Filterable with result
   • Use in Search Results Layered Navigation: Yes
2. Add the attribute to Default attribute set
3. Create 2 simple products (Default attribute set), and for each product set different value for the new attribute previously added.
4. On the "Default Category" set the Display mode "Static block only" or "Static block and products" and save
5. Reindex and clear cache
6. Go to homepage and do a product search
7. Layered navigation block is not visible in search result page

Please let me know, thank you
