A bit new to Magento but need to do next thing:
I found on the web that i can rewrite app/design/frontend/Vendor/theme/Magento_Catalog/templates/product/list.phtml
to actually gain what I need. But turns out that Magento_CatalogSearch using same file from Magento_Catalog to show results.
Is there some switch or variable where i can spot when search is called?
Or some other way to reload how HC loads?
Override vendor\magento\module-catalog-search\view\frontend\layout\catalogsearch_result_index.xml to your theme inside app/design/frontend/Vendor/theme/Magento_CatalogSearch/layout and add below catalogsearch_result_index.xml in layout folder:
<?xml version="1.0"?><page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" layout="2columns-left" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
<body>
<attribute name="class" value="page-products"/>
<referenceContainer name="content">
<block class="Magento\CatalogSearch\Block\Result" name="search.result" template="Magento_CatalogSearch::result.phtml">
<block class="Magento\CatalogSearch\Block\SearchResult\ListProduct" name="search_result_list" template="Magento_CatalogSearch::product/search-list.phtml">
<arguments>
<!-- If argument's position depends on image size changeable in VDE:

Copy and rename the file app/design/frontend/Vendor/theme/Magento_Catalog/templates/product/list.phtml to app/design/frontend/Vendor/theme/Magento_CatalogSearch/templates/product/search-list.phtml
We have not tested it but it will work. OR in list.phtml try with below code :
print_r($this->getRequest()->getFullActionName());
if you get return like : catalogsearch_result_index in the search page. then add a condition for search result as below:
if($this->getRequest()->getFullActionName() == 'catalogsearch_result_index '){
// do your stuff
}
