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
