Using a different search plugin

  • Hello, we are using the “SearchWP Live Ajax Search” plugin. But underneath we want to use a different search engine then the WordPress default one. We want to try Relevannsi.

    Do I need to configure this in your plugin? I know I have a filter in my functions.php called “my_searchwp_live_search_configs” and its says:

    ‘engine’ => ‘default’, // Search engine to use (if SearchWP is available).

    Do I need to fill in “relevanssi” here?

    By the way is the documentation for customizing the plugin gone? I can’t find it.

    @rodricus ,

    I would like to inform you that the free version of SearchWP Live Ajax Search is compatible with the default WordPress query or the SearchWP query when used with the premium plugin.

    However, it is not possible to use Live Search with other search plugins like Relevanssi.

    For more details about Live Search hooks, you can refer to the documentation here:
    ?? SearchWP Live Search Documentation

    Let me know if you have any further questions!

    Hi @rodricus ,

    I wanted to follow up with an update regarding the compatibility of SearchWP Live Ajax Search with Relevanssi.

    Relevanssi modifies the default WordPress WP_Query, which is used by Live Search. Unless Relevanssi has made changes on their end, Live Search should work as expected with Relevanssi.

    Additionally, Relevanssi has developed its own live search plugin based on an older fork of Live Search which you can check out here:
