I am not aware of a way to do this. It would require Custom javascript on that one page to unbind the on change listener that is attached to the form, and I do not know how to do this. It would also require a submit button.

I can ask Ross if he knows? I will flag this for him to look at.

Hi Christian

Although untested and undocumented, I think there is a way this could work.

There is an attribute on our <form> tag, which is passed to JavaScript to enable this functionality – data-auto-update

You can change this using our undocumented filter (I didn’t want to make this public as I’m thinking of changing the implementation in v3) – search_filter_form_attributes

Example usage would be:

function filter_sf_atts( $atts, $sfid ) {
	
	//if search form ID = 225, the do something with the atts
	if($sfid==225)
	{
		//modify $atts here before returning it
		$atts['data-auto-update'] = '0';
	}
	
	return $atts;
}
add_filter( 'search_filter_form_attributes', 'filter_sf_atts', 20, 2 );

Hope that helps!
