    I have used the free version of your plugin. It was easy to modify the SEARCH BOX:

    /* SEARCH BOX */
    if((isset($_POST[SF_FPRE.’search’]))&&($this->has_form_posted))
    {
    $this->searchterm = trim(stripslashes($_POST[SF_FPRE.’search’]));
    /*Additional Row*/
    $this->searchterm = substr($_POST[SF_FPRE.’search’], 0, 4 );
    …

    Because the search should only consider/ extract the first 4 parts of the search string.

    I cannot find an equivalent code for the search box in the pro version.

    Many thanks in advance for any help.

    Hi there

    If you must edit the query best not to hack the plugin directly 😉

    Instead, you can use the filter sf_edit_query_args – which allows you to change any of the parameters that are passed to the query:

    https://www.designsandcode.com/documentation/search-filter-pro/action-filter-reference/#Edit_Query_Arguments

    If you lower the priority to say 20:

    add_filter( 'sf_edit_query_args', 'filter_function_name', 20, 2 );

    This will happen after S&F has setup the query.

    This means you should be able to access the object like:

    function filter_function_name( $query_args, $sfid ) {
	
	//if search form ID = 225, the do something with this query
	if($sfid==225)
	{
		//modify $query_args here before returning it
                
		//here you can limit the length of 's' which is the search term
		$query_args['s'] = "overwritten search term";
	}
	
	return $query_args;
}

    Thanks
