    Hello,

    I have the “Use Algolia with native WordPress search template” option selected and am able to see Algolia working in my search results as expected. The problem is that I want to use a custom template for my search results page for better design capabilities but when I enable the custom template, it looks like Algolia is no longer being used to show the search results. Is it possible to use Algolia to display search results in a custom template?

    For further context, I’m also using the Filter Everything plugin and would like the ability to use those filters in the custom template with the search results being populated by Algolia. I’m using the Kadence theme.

    I don’t believe we’re going to have the best compatibility with the “Filter Everything” plugin. That’s likely doing a lot of the same type of things that the bundled InstantSearch library does

    The “Use Algolia with native WordPress search template” integrates in with WP_Query and is_search() cases, and will send just the searched term/phrase to Algolia and Algolia will return the IDs to show as results. We feed that into post__in for the search query.

    I have to assume Filter Everything is likely doing a lot of AJAX queries, not through .com/?s=QUERY
