Intercept search term…

    Hello,

    I am creating a new plugin for the wordpress search feature. Ultimately it’s a simple plugin but I need some help.

    Is there any way to intercept the value from a users search, run a statement on it, if the statement returns false then pass the value back to the standard WordPress search query?

    Thanks in advance,

    TJ

    Finally found out how… Was thinking too hard. Trying to be way to complicated.

    In my plugin I did the add_action(‘wp_head’, ‘my_function’) and thus the function is inserting something like this into the header:

    function my_function() {
    if(is_search()) {
    $search_key = get_search_query();

    /* Do what I want with the value */

    if( what I wanted worked ) {
    Stop the default search and do this;
    } else {
    Do nothing which will just let wp continue with searching
    }
    }
    }

    So what I was looking for was “get_search_query()” and I was searching for the wrong thing in Google and here…
