Typo searches bug when using Algolia as the backend search

    Hi,

    When using algolia as the backend search engine, I encountered the following bug. Although algolia gives the right (fuzzy) results back, they don’t show up. For example, if I search for ‘seearching a match’, algolia return the post_id (say id = 1) of ‘searching a match’, but then the WP_Query still executes something like SELECT bla WHERE post_title LIKE '%seearching a match%' and post_id IN (1) which return zero records.

    This is because the s parameter still gets added to the final WP_Query.

    A quick fix is to reset the ‘s’ parameter, but this breaks other functions like get_search_query()

    I reset the s parameter here:

    
function labelvier_algolia_should_filter_query($should_filter, $query) {
	if($should_filter) {
		$query->set('s', null);
	}
	return $should_filter;
}
add_filter('algolia_should_filter_query', 'labelvier_algolia_should_filter_query', 10, 2);
