This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
If you're experiencing issues where search results do not stay in the secondary language when searching in that language on your website,
Solution:
We recommend checking how you created the search feature. A potential solution is to change the language URL format to "Different languages in directories". You can do this by navigating to WPML → Languages → Language URL format in your site's backend. This adjustment might help in ensuring that the search results remain in the chosen language.

If this solution does not apply to your case, or if it seems outdated, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If issues persist, please do not hesitate to open a new support ticket. For further assistance, you can also visit our support forum at WPML Support Forum.

Thank you for contacting WPML support.

How did you create the search feature?

Have you considered changing the language URL format to "Different languages in directories" in WPML → Languages → Language URL format? I suspect this may resolve the problem.
