Relevanssi + Flatsome Ajax Search

Flatsome already has a built-in method of replacing the AJAX search used, so they’ve already thought of this. Because of that, I don’t think they’re going to add built-in support for Relevanssi as why would they? Their current solution covers all existing and future third-party search tools.

I already had this solution for enabling Relevanssi with Flatsome:

function rlv_flatsome_search_function( $query, $args, $defaults ) {
  $args['relevanssi'] = true;
  return get_posts( $args );
}

add_filter( 'flatsome_ajax_search_function', function() { return 'rlv_flatsome_search_function'; } );

How is your solution related to this? Does your solution work in some cases where this one doesn’t? I can post your solution to my Flatsome knowledge base page.

I tried that flatsome_ajax_search_function approach but didn’t knew that I could just add tha argument relevanssi to true.

I don’t think it will be many different using my solution or yours, it’s basically doing the same thing: forcing Relevanssi to do its thing.
