How to remove request filters?

[shochdoerfer]

I needed to remove one of the defined request filters. I tried to create a custom elasticsuite_search_request.xml file in my own module and remove the filter there. Unfortunately that did not work. Is there any way to remove or customize filters of pre-defined requests?

Hello @shochdoerfer

You can create a custom elasticsuite_search_request.xml file and define a dummy filter that has the same key of one of the existing filter.

Your dummy implementation should just return nothing.

Let me know if it works.

Will give it a try. Currently I used the DI preferences to achieve the same but that really feels like a bad idea :P

Works fine. Thank you.
