I'd like to know how to create the header background in the following image (taken from here).
I'm referring to the grid of images behind the search box. Clearly those are just square colored images but with some kind of filter.

I've tried to merge the colored images with a black opacity layer, but that gives a different look. I also don't think it is a blur. I would describe the look as 'softening the image in grayscale'. Please help me to recreate this in Photoshop.

I believe what's being done here is an alpha gradient. I use GIMP so I can't give you the steps in Photoshop, but the process will be something similar:

Set a gradient to go from a solid, opaque colour (ie. black), to a
solid, semi-transparent colour (ie. black at 80% opacity).
After applying the gradient to the selection or layer, set that
layer's opacity until you achieve this effect.

Note: Looking at the image, the gradient may be radial (with the diameter larger than the image frame)
Note: The gradient may have more than two control points (ie. 3 or even 4)
