Edit search results template in Wordpress - css

Question

I have created a page template with a nice layout using the lovely custom fields plugin so my client can easily update the content.
I created a loop on that page template that displays the relevant information nicely;
Here is the loop I made:
<?php
$args = array( 'post_type' => 'cripps_staff', 'posts_per_page' => 300 );
$loop = new WP_Query( $args );
while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post();
echo '<div class="col-md-3 spacetop">';
echo '<a href="'.get_permalink().'">';
echo get_post_meta($post->ID,'image',true);
echo '</a>';
echo '<h2 class="staffname">';
echo get_post_meta($post->ID,'staff_name',true);
echo '</h2>';
echo '<h2 class="staffrole">';
echo get_post_meta($post->ID,'staff_role',true);
echo '</h2>';
echo '<h2 class="staffnumber">';
echo get_post_meta($post->ID,'staff_telephone_number',true);
echo '</h2>';
echo '<h2 class="staffemail">';
echo get_post_meta($post->ID,'staff_email_address',true);
echo '</h2>';
echo '</div>';
endwhile;
?>
I created taxonomies so the staff members are split into categories.
I am then using a plugin called Taxonomies filter to create those dropdown options you will see. When you select an element in the dropdowns, Wordpress goes to/changes the page to a custom search results page I created. I want my search results to be displayed exactly like my loop on the People's template. Currently it just spits it out the title in a h1 tag.
Here is the code I got from the Twenty Fourteen theme:
<?php
// Start the Loop.
while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
/*
* Include the post format-specific template for the content. If you want to
* use this in a child theme, then include a file called called content-___.php
* (where ___ is the post format) and that will be used instead.
*/
get_template_part( 'content', get_post_format() );
endwhile;
// Previous/next post navigation.
CrippsTheme_paging_nav();
else :
// If no content, include the "No posts found" template.
get_template_part( 'content', 'none' );
endif;
?>
How can I get the search results to look exactly like my Post loop?

I managed to resolve this completely with the help of Pieter Goosen, who provided me with an awesomely detailed response, see the full answer on Wordpress development forum:
