The AjaxFilters plugin is not open for modifications. The plugin is using our own stored procedure to perform the search which is encrypted and can not be modified.
Do you have any plans to make the search provider swappable?

Hi Andrey,
We don't have such plans simply because the plugin is designed to work with nopCommerce and is quite coupled with the nopCommerce infrastructure i.e services and database. If we were to create the plugin for other ecommerce platforms it would make sense to abstract all the code (which will quite a lot of work) but for now we don't have such plans.
I was going to post a topic when I came across this post and I think it might be the same question or at least related to it.
We recently enabled the Full Text Search on our database and have slightly modified the default NopCommerce search engine to include Manufacturer's Part Number and Meta Keywords into the search results.
The function itself works perfectly and all the correct results come up in the AutoComplete using the Nop-Templates Instant Search plugin.
However, if I hit enter to get a complete list, it will say that "no results were found" and 0 products come up.
I found a post (not sure where now) that mentioned a similar problem and that disabling the Ajax Filters on the Search Page fixed the problem, which it did for me also.
Unfortunately though, disabling the filters on the search page is a huge disadvantage due to our high amount of possible spec filters.
Am I correct to assume that I cannot use the Ajax Filters on the search page because the filter engine uses its own method of keyword population? And is it also something that's impossible to achieve?
