Magento mirasvit sphinx search module is not working with mana layered navigation module

Question

I am using magento community version 1.9 and I have integrated mirasvit sphinx search extension but it is not working with Layered Navigation module. I am filtering search result with Mana layered Navigation but it is still showing me the same result. It is not applying the layered navigation filter on search result. When I am removing this mirasvit extension and applying filter with default search module it is working fine. Would request you please provide help for me.

Thanks Zahid

This question is answered on both provider's site:

• Manadev https://www.manadev.com/documentation/magento-1.x-guides/seo-layered-navigation-plus/troubleshooting/extension---mirasvit-search-index
• Mirasvit https://mirasvit.com/doc/ssu/2.3.4/troubleshooting

There is a known conflict with the extension Mana_Fitlers. Error may occur on the search result page, when trying to apply filters.

Solution:

1 - app/design/frontend/[YOUR PACKAGE]/[YOUR THEME]/layout/catalogsearch.xml - find and comment out everything inside <reference name="content"> under <catalogsearch_result_index> as shown below:

<catalogsearch_result_index>
    ...
    <reference name="content">
        <!-- COMMENT EVERYTHING IN IT -->
    </reference>
    ...
</catalogsearch_result_index>

2 - app/etc/modules/Mirasvit_SearchIndex.xml – make sure that this module loads before our module by adding dependency on the Mana_Filters module:

<config>
       <modules>
           <Mirasvit_SearchIndex>
               <active>true</active>
               <codePool>local</codePool>
           </Mirasvit_SearchIndex>
           <Mana_Filters>
               <depends>
                   <Mirasvit_SearchIndex/>
               </depends>
           </Mana_Filters>
       </modules>
   </config>
