I really don't know the difference and which of the two methods is better.

On the other hand, I don't know how to oppose a button or drop-down list with all the search ways or all the filters defined. It is so that they do not take up so much space in the left sidebar.

Thank you

It is not that one is better, they just serve different purposes. Filter lists all possible options and is useful when you have a limited number of options like list car makes, list of models for each car make, price ranges etc.
Search panel is more flexible and allows you to search for any word or part of the phrase in a certain field, which is something that filters cannot do.
