Changing filters dynamically

Elastic Search
1

Hi there,
We're using the jquery client library for our custom search along with using "domain-identifier" to filter our results from 3 different domains.

Im having a hard time trying to figure out how to use the jquery swiftype-search-jquery to change the filter parameter and have it picked up by the plugin object.

Currently have 3 call to actions, each with a click event to build a new filter object, however i dont know how to pass this changed object to the existing $el.swifttypeSearch({}) object. I hope that makes sense.

var searchScope = function(){
	....some biz logic here...

	if(onClickSearchScope>0){
		return {'page': {'domain-identifier':onClickSearchScope}};
	} else {
		return {};
	}
	
};

$('.st-default-search-input').swiftypeSearch({
		resultContainingElement: '.st-search-container',
		engineKey: 'myEngineIDHere',
		renderFunction: customRenderFunction,
		perPage: 20,
		filters: searchScope()		
	});

Any help would be appreciated

I finally figured out how to accomplish this, by putting the function call directly within the swiftypeSearch instantiation call:

$('.st-default-search-input').swiftypeSearch({
	resultContainingElement: '.st-search-container',
	engineKey: 'myEngineIDHere',
	renderFunction: customRenderFunction,
	perPage: 20,
	filters:  function(){
		return {'page': {'domain-identifier':1}};
	}		
});
