Khamla was able to help me look into this for you, together we found this:
The only way that I can have the search function for names but then show something else is if I have the Fields searched for properly but then have the display template have a merge syntax for what I want to appear.
Have you tried playing with that?
For this set up, it’ll return the Field Name when being searched but instead of seeing the Name, I’ll see the Id for the name.
