\SearchWP\Query is the class responsible for executing searches by utilizing an existing Engine.

Basic Usage

All usage of \SearchWP\Query requires at least one parameter; a search query:

	<?php
	// @link https://searchwp.com/documentation/classes/searchwp-query/
	$search = new \SearchWP\Query( 'coffee' );

	$results = $search->results; // Array of results.

By default $search->results will be an array of objects, formatted like so:

stdClass Object
(
    [id]        => 1          // Result ID.
        => post.post  // Result Source name.
    [site]      => 1          // Result site ID.
    [relevance] => 150        // Result relevance weight.
)

This generic stdClass result provides the bare essentials of what is needed to retrieve additional information about the result.

Arguments

An array of arguments can be passed as the second parameter when instantiating \SearchWP\Query. There are a number of arguments available to customize the results returned.

	<?php
	// @link https://searchwp.com/documentation/classes/searchwp-query/
	$search = new \SearchWP\Query( 'coffee', [
	'engine' => 'supplemental',
	'per_page' => -1,
	'fields' => 'all',
	] );

	$results = $search->results; // Array of results.
