live search plugins and relevanssi_modify_wp_query

    I’ve tried several plugins to implement live (AJAX) search using WordPress – SearchWP Live Ajax Search and Dave’s Live WP Search. The basics function OK, I have tested with Relevanssi enabled and disabled, and the AJAX results vary, so it looks like the plugin is being called for search.

    But both bypass the relevanssi_modify_wp_query hook that I’ve defined to handle custom query string params I’m passing ( as per https://www.relevanssi.com/knowledge-base/multiple-custom-taxonomies/ ). I can see the params are sent using the Chrome dev tools.

    As an example, Dave’s Live Search hits this URL:
    /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?s=alcohol&target_audience=parents&action=dwls_search'

    When I go to wordpress rendered version of the same search terms, ie /?s=alcohol&target_audience=parents the hook is called and I see correct taxonomy filters applied.

    D’oh, the /wp-admin in the AJAX URL was the giveaway – enabling ‘Use search for admin’ was all that was required for this to work.
