What is the current behavior?

Mixed behavior: For some results it ignores search.blade.php and loads the first post (I am also utilizing custom post types, in addition to the standard post types). For other results, it lists results on a page as expected.

What is the expected or desired behavior?

Load search.blade.php and display a list of results.

Resolved. Issue was on my end. When adding a custom post type I had added a filter on template_include, which would use a single custom template for a group of types. Since these custom post types are queried on search, I had forgot to add !is_search() on the boolean check for post types:

/**
 * Handle template inclusion of single program so we use the right file.
 */
add_filter('template_include', function ($template) {
    $types = ['undergrad_pt', 'grad_pt', 'cert_pt', 'hybrid_pt', 'exec_pt'];
    $post_type = get_post_type();

    if (in_array($post_type, $types) && !is_search()) {
        return locate_template(['single-program.blade.php']);
    }

    return $template;
});
