Wordpress Post loop with query $args on search.php results? - php

Question

I'm creating a search results page and I'm trying to exclude specific post formats. I found this query but I don't know how make the post loop works, I don't even know the code. And, I don't know how to put the 404 error not found on the search.php.
This is the code
<?php
$args = array(
'tax_query' => array(
array(
'taxonomy' => 'post_format',
'field' => 'slug',
'terms' => 'post-format-quote', 'post-format-video',
'operator' => 'NOT IN'
)
)
);
query_posts( $args );
?>
I first tried something and worked fine, but if i set "4 post per-page" it counts all the formats post, and if the standard posts on the search results should have been 3 and 1 quote-format post, it shows 3 standard post and an empty space.
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : ?>
<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<?php if( get_post_format() == 'quote' ) : ?>
<?php elseif( get_post_format() == 'link' ) : ?>
<?php elseif( get_post_format() == 'video' ) : ?>
<?php elseif( get_post_format() == 'image' ) : ?>
<?php else : ?>
post
<?php endif; ?>
<?php endwhile; else : ?>
<?php get_template_part( 'partials/content', 'none' ); ?>
<?php endif; ?>

This is the whole code of my search.php. This was the only way to not display other formats post on my search results. I just want the loop to not count "other formats post" on my results. I want to show 4 results per-page and has to be 4 standard posts format.
<?php
get_header(); ?>
<div id="content" class="site-content">
<div id="news-page">
<div class="right">
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
</div>

<div class="newstitle">RISULTATI</div>
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : ?>
<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<?php if( get_post_format() == 'quote' ) : ?>
<?php elseif( get_post_format() == 'link' ) : ?>
<?php elseif( get_post_format() == 'video' ) : ?>
