Noorhalim if you’re referring to the frontend, then we use instant search js or an implementation of instant search js.

As of this moment there isn’t a way to intercept the queries before it hits typesense servers

Digamber From the code in the plugin, it seems like instantsearch gets the parameter set in this file.

Digamber I currently need to edit the search query, before passing to the typesense. Do you have any advice on how i can do this? - given the situation that the instantsearch library handles the request.
