Convert search criteria into a filter #126

Open peussen opened 9 years ago

peussen commented 9 years ago

I ran into a problem with my site, which after a couple of hours searching i tracked down to how this plugin worked in combination with another plugin. It appears the other plugin (which i will ask for a fix as well), does some queries in the pre_get_posts, which screws up this plugin.

Basically what happens is that a plugin does some queries in the pre_get_posts to determine if it should do something. These queries do appear to be the main_query, even though they are not. I guess you ran into somewhat similair problems (looking at the attempted variable).

So to allow other people with similair problems to correct this i introduced this filter. Basically you will get one filter per search type. So you should get:

People can then add their own criteria (or remove the default ones) when needed.

If you have some alternative solution i could not think of, which will not require this pull request, please let me know!

I'm looking into one test scenario right now which seem to act up. If that one is due to this change, i will cancel this request. P

Looks like the test failure on my side was caused by something else. All tests work for me now.
