channel_search_modify_search_query($sql, $hash)

Parameter Type Description
$sql String Unmodified search query

How it’s called:

$modified_sql = ee()->extensions->call('channel_search_modify_search_query', $sql, $this->hash);
...
if (ee()->extensions->end_script === TRUE) return $sql

channel_search_modify_result_query($sql, $hash)

Parameter Type Description
$sql String Unmodified search query
$search_id String Unique ID identifying this query in the database
Returns String SQL query

Modify the query retrieved by the Search Module. When search results are displayed, a cached query is retrieved from the database to perform the search.

How it’s called:

$modified_sql = ee()->extensions->call('channel_search_modify_result_query', $sql, $search_id);
