Hi,
I would like to use some queries in my WordPress theme, for example to get some related posts.
Using the free version of Yith woocommerce ajax search widget I noticed that it works very well using the get_posts() function. If I use the same function somewhere only the title and description are search.

So what is the official way to create a query in my WP Theme to receive results from WPSOLR?
Is there a filter I can use?

We have the Toolset Views add-on to do that. Just activate it, create your Toolset View, paste it in your page. WPSOLR will manage the queries behind the scene.

I don’t wanna use a different plugin for that (definitively not Toolset).
Is there no way to do that using PHP code? Any documentation for developers?

WPSOLR was built for replacing archives queries (search, taxonomies …). There are no good way to build your own custom queries.

You say that there is no way to select simply 5 products based on a search query from WPSOLR.
Just be some PHP code? Or using WP functions?
Please explain why the get_posts() function works this way in the YITH ajax search plugin.
I tried it and the function can search on custom field values which are only indexed by WPSOLR

There is no official way, no.

It has been done in the plugin, but in very specific conditions.

You can read the YITH Ajax search add-on code if you want. But it remains internal code, and it can change in the future. Unless you use the predefined actions/filters that you can find also in the add-on code.
