Hi, I'm loving this plugin, thanks very much.

I've added a dropdown menu beside the search box in searchform.php containing all my categories.

Could you point me in the right direction on how I can pass the dropdown category value onChange and initiate the AJAX search?

I know how to manually filter categories with searchwp_live_search_query_args but I'm not sure how to pass the dropdown value to that on-the-fly.

Any pointers would be appreciated. Thanks.

Allow modifying native search via search form
83a2b4a 
This PR lets you modify the search query for **native WP search** by adding hidden form fields to the search form like

`<input type="hidden" name="posts_per_page" value="20">`

or

`<input type="hidden" name="post_types" value="post,product">`

or

`<input type="hidden" name="cat" value="1,17,126">`

or

`<input type="hidden" name="category_name" value="books">`

This allows you to do some basic filtering and tuning on a *form by form* basis, as opposed to using the `searchwp_live_search_query_args` filter or the `searchwp_live_search_posts_per_page` filter which operate on all forms.

This PR yields a simple-ish solution for issues:
