Trigger query loop update, and filter query via AJAX

1

I’m aiming to create a simple AJAX search that uses a Form element and a Query Loop.

The idea is that when the form is sent, the query loop updates and filters the posts using the form input.

I know I could use a search plugin for this, or code an entire new search element, but I’m trying to avoid that. If I can connect the form submission, with the query and refresh the items dynamically, that should be enough.

Is there any JavaScript event that I can trigger to refresh the query? I imagine that this already exists, since the Pagination element must use it to retrieve/update the query.

And the second issue would be to pass the form field value to filter the query but one step at the time XD

Thanks for any ideas!
