Conditinally remove an Engine Source

The following snippet outlines how we can use this hook to conditionally remove the Posts Source from the search Engine if a GET variable is set. If that GET variable is set, Posts will be excluded from search results because the Source has been removed from the Engine.

<?php
// Conditionally remove a SearchWP Engine Source.
add_filter( 'searchwp\query\before', function( $query ) {
// Applies only if `myflag` GET variable exists.
if ( ! isset( $_GET['myflag'] ) ) {
return;
}
// Remove Posts from Engine.
$source = \SearchWP\Utils::get_post_type_source_name( 'post' )
$query->get_engine()->remove_source( $source );
}, 20, 2 );
