Genesis does provide a filter before returning the search form. Why not just add a filter to the genesis_search_form hook? You can add … Read more
Instead of implementing a custom search query, instead include the custom fields in the standard search, and use rewrite rules to map /?post_type=cars&s=mysearchterm to /search/cars/mysearchterm .

If we look at the source code of get_search_form(), notice that before the form gets rendered, the search_form_format filter hook gets fired. We can use that to add another filter attached to get_search_form where the callback is dependent upon the format. add_filter( ‘search_form_format’, ‘wpse_259716_search_form_format’, 99, 1 ); function wpse_259716_search_form_format( $format ) { if( in_array( $format, … Read more
