Can container components do something like this?  
I tried to create a search column manually, I used a container component with 3 columns, But the layout is vertical, I expected horizontal.

I would recommend using Glide’s new Custom AI component to try and achieve the design you’re looking for. You can even give it a reference image.

That’s the default behavior of the container in mobile devices. You can play with this CSS to keep it on mobiles though.
