Searching an empty search bar

Hello,

Looks like I found the solution for you. Please use following code snippet:

add_action( 'wp_head', 'my_aws_head' );
function my_aws_head() { ?>
    <script>
        window.addEventListener('load', function() {
            jQuery('.aws-search-btn').on( 'click', function (e) {
                var form = jQuery(this).closest('.aws-search-form');
                var searchField = form.find('.aws-search-field');
                if ( searchField.val() === '' ) {
                    searchField.val('all');
                    searchField.closest('form').submit();
                }
            });
        }, false);
    </script>
<?php }
add_filter('aws_search_query_array', 'my_aws_search_query_array');
function my_aws_search_query_array( $query ) {
    if ( strpos( $query['search'], 'all' ) !== false ) {
        $query['search'] = '';
        $query['relevance'] = '1';
    }
    return $query;
}

You need to add it somewhere outside the plugins folder. For example, inside functions.php file of your theme or use some plugin for adding code snippets.

That is awesome! Thank you so very much! Is there a way to just have it be blank or a space or “” instead of the word all?

Additionally, I have no use for the Pro version, but is there a way I can donate to you?

You can try to use this code instead:

add_action( 'wp_head', 'my_aws_head' );
function my_aws_head() { ?>
    <script>
        window.addEventListener('load', function() {
            jQuery('.aws-search-btn').on( 'click', function (e) {
                var form = jQuery(this).closest('.aws-search-form');
                var searchField = form.find('.aws-search-field');
                if ( searchField.val() === '' ) {
                    searchField.val(' ');
                    searchField.closest('form').submit();
                }
            });
        }, false);
    </script>
<?php }
add_filter('aws_search_query_array', 'my_aws_search_query_array');
function my_aws_search_query_array( $query ) {
    if ( strpos( $query['search'], ' ' ) !== false || strpos( $query['search'], '032' ) !== false ) {
        $query['search'] = '';
        $query['relevance'] = '1';
    }
    return $query;
}

About donation – thanks for that. You can use this link.
