    The best option in this case would actually be to mix up the results of Better Search and then run a WP_Query request to it and then set up whatever template you want for WP_Query to kick in. You’ll need to be able to capture the category as well.

    Please see what I did with another plugin (that doesn’t have Better Search integrated yet) in terms of search templates

    https://github.com/WebberZone/knowledgebase/blob/master/public/templates/search-wz_knowledgebase.php

    For WP_Query, you’d use the argument of posts__in and pass this as : bsearch_clause_prepare()

    
	$args = array(
		'post__in' => bsearch_clause_prepare(),
		'orderby' => 'post__in',
		'posts_per_page' => 7,
		'ignore_sticky_posts' => 1 
	);
	
	$my_query = new WP_Query( $args );

    Another example as follows on my plugin Top 10 that uses an example of WP_Query: https://gist.github.com/ajaydsouza/c8defd4b46e53240e376

    In terms of Better Search, filtering and advanced search forms is what I plan to introduce in a paid addon.
