The finder app does not produce the desired Search Results for multiple fields.
My parcel layer has 2 fields "ARN" and "Location"
Using a hosted finder app I set the following parameters.
Find Fields = ARN, Location
Result Display Fields = ARN, Location
While the search will correctly find a parcel using an search entry matching either ARN or Location . . . the results will only produce a list using the first parameter identified in the 'Result Display Fields'. (ARN in this case)
That is, if my search matches a Location entry, the corresponding ARN value is shown in the results, not the corresponding Location for which it matches.
Swapping the parameters produces the same and opposite result . . .
I did have the desired result from the previous template.
I believe this is a bug.
Cheers.

Hi Evan Sepa,
I believe that this is a known limitation of the Finder application as documented in its GitHub repository. This documentation stating this can be found here:
Find, Edit, Filter documentation.
Under the Result Display Field heading it reads:
"Only one Result Display Field can be defined for each Find Layer."
In addition, if you would like to see this enhancement made to the current template, you can post an enhancement request both directly to the GitHub Repository in addition to the Ideas website.
I hope this helps!
Let it be known then that the downloaded version ALLOWS the corresponding field to be shown in the results.
I find this function highly desirable because of its practicality!!!
When searching for the following record...
ARN | Location
104206001009210 | 6648 Road 506
Searching 1042060010... produces "104206001009210" in the results
Searching 6648... produces "6648 Road 506" in the results
