I would like to be able to utilize the search field on an Archive page without the resulting query redirecting to the Search page. Ideally the search field would work in conjunction with any of the facet choices already made on the page, and the results would update on the Archive page itself.
Is the functionality described above achievable with this plugin?
It is a feature of WPSOLR already.
Just change you search form to redirect to current page’s url rather than the search page.
So, /my-category/?s=query instead of /?s=query
