Hi,
It’s all right, this is the preferred method.
So, the good news is that I was able to make it work together. The bad news is, that both plugins need modification. Blog extras has a filter to hook into the query arguments, but the module arguments are missing, so it’s not possible to verify if the query should be overwritten.
However it’s super easy to fix, by adding one parameter to a hook (literally 1 line change), I have contacted them about it. I really hope they can make that change, that would make this super easy and allow this and also any other plugin to filter their module.
I will integrate this change to Ajax Search Pro, hopefully they will do the same. Until then, here is the download for the modified version for both plugins:
– Ajax Search Pro
– Divi Extras
