create a new section file “search-section.liquid” in the section folder and add the following code.

{%- if section.settings.enable_filtering or section.settings.enable_sorting -%}
  {{ 'component-facets.css' | asset_url | stylesheet_tag }}
  
{%- endif -%}

{% if section.settings.image_shape == 'blob' %}
  {{ 'mask-blobs.css' | asset_url | stylesheet_tag }}
{%- endif -%}

{%- liquid
  assign sort_by = search.sort_by | default: search.default_sort_by
