Adding shortcode to results

[yair07]

Hey,
I am trying to add a compare option for posts that will appear in the search results of the Ajax Search Pro plugin.
All I need to do is add a shortcode to the results and this will work.
However I am not able to add a shortcode in any way, even when I try adding the shortcode as a custom value of the post.
Is there any other way I could add such a shortcode to the search results?
I can even add some code to the necessary file if needed.

Hi!

A bit of a custom code is required, but no need to edit the files. This knowledge base will help you with it. Let me know if you need any assistance with that.

Sorry I just stumbled on another issue.
Is it possible to trigger a custom function on every search?
Meaning right after the search results appear I want to fire the function.
Please let me know how I could add such a functionality.

Thanks

Yes, you can.

If you mean the server side (PHP), then you can use the asp_results filter. That is triggered whenever the search is finished and before the output. You can use it as an action hook instead of a filter as well:

add_action( 'asp_results', 'asp_my_custom_results_action', 10, 4 );
function asp_my_custom_results_action( $resultsi, $search_id, $is_ajax, $args) {
	// Do your thing here
}

If you mean javascript code executed on the front-end, that is also possible. Check this knowledge base for that.
