I'm in the same boat. I have a number of custom Advanced search forms, a couple of which have quite a few fields and would benefit from being divided into columns. I'm already using sets as described in the Grouping Fields link Axel mentioned but if I try to include a template "<edit-form template='/2-column-edit-form.ftl' />" the form no longer works with only the keyword search being available.

It's unclear to me from the documentation if the 2-column-edit-form.ftl file is something that is already available or if it is something that I need to create. If I need to create my own, where does it need to be placed?
