Allright, one useful strategy to debugging these sorts of problems, in your template add:

<pre>{{$data}}</pre>

So you can see all the data that is available to you in your template.

As for why it isn't working. You receive batchResource from your server which is an array: [ $batchResult, $batchResult ],

Either change your searchBatch function to adapt to this situation, like so:

searchBatch(){
   axios.post('/search-results', this.form).then((res)=>{
  
   // res.data = [ $batchResult, $batchResult ]
   // take the first list of results:
   this.batchResource = res.data[0]
   this.display = true

   console.log(res.data)
   })
}

Or don't change the search function and deal with it in your template:

<tr v-for="batch in batchResource[0]" :key="batch.id">
    <th scope="row">{{batch.patient_number}}</th>
    <td>{{batch.patient_name}} | {{batch.patient_gender}}</td>
</tr>
