@yarovikov I'm not 100% sure I follow what you are trying to achieve, but you can integrate ElasticPress with AJAX calls. Check out this article: https://www.elasticpress.io/documentation/article/how-to-integrate-elasticpress-with-ajax-requests/

If that doesn't help, do you mind explaining a bit more about your solution and how that ajax search page works behind the scenes?

I apologize for the inaccuracy of the question. I mean list of suggestions. Usually we can get them like this do_action( 'ep_suggestions' ) or \ElasticPress\Features::factory()->get_registered_feature('did-you-mean')->get_suggestion();

But this is not working with my search as expected.

Hi @yaroviko,

You can retrieve the suggestion list from the WP_Query object like this.

$query = new \WP_Query( $args );
$suggestion_list = $query->suggested_terms['options'] ?? [];

Hi, @burhandodhy

Many thanks, this is working. Another question: does this only work with one word? There always seems to be no results when the search query contains more than 1 word.

Hi @yarovikov,

It should work fine even if the search term contains multiple words. Could you please share the search term you're using, as well as the post content? This will help us replicate the issue.
