Instant Search not matching Relevanssi search results

Hmmm… In the past you had proposed solutions to people with this very same kind of problem.

Anyway, reading the FAQs on the plugin’s webpage, I have found this statement:

“Any calls to query_posts() on search results template make Relevanssi fail silently. You’re not getting results from Relevanssi any more. This is unpleasant, but something I can’t really fix, considering that WordPress doesn’t offer any official way to replace search results and the way Relevanssi is coupled with WordPress is something of a hack. So, something simple like this can throw Relevanssi off.
If you’re having problems with Relevanssi, the first step is to check your search results page, usually search.php. See if there’s a call to query_posts() and if there is, comment it out. In most cases that is enough to fix the problem.
It’s not always query_posts(). Appearance of new WP_Query() is another sign of trouble, or $wp_query->get_posts();. Anything that queries the database for new posts is trouble for Relevanssi.”

Do you have any idea if Envato “Instant Search” Ajax calls comprises the query_posts() one?

Yes, of course I have selected the “aerei” custom post type in Relevanssi’s Indexing Options, otherwise I just couldn’t get any result on the “standard” search performed by the plugin.

I have made a post on Relevanssi support forum, and the plugin author replied as follows:

“Adding that code doesn’t change the results at all? That seems to be the way to replace the Enfold Instant search with another search engine, but if it doesn’t work, then I’m afraid I can’t help you.
To debug this, I’d need to see what does the $tempquery variable contain when it’s passed to Relevanssi.”

Do you have any idea of what does the Enfold’s $tempquery variable contain when it’s passed to Relevanssi?

Thanks for your help!
