Sorry if is a stupid question, im not a programmer, but i cant found this.
Im trying to migrate my own vb3 plugin to restrict to certain groups the search function when the server load is high. In vb have a "search_start" hookname, exist something similar in xf ??

XenForo does not use a hooking system. Instead, you directly override classes.

Override XenForo_ControllerPublic_Search::actionIndex() and actionSearch() and add your SLA checking code there. If you need starter boilerplate code let me know - I assume you know how to extend existing classes correctly

Thanks a lot @tyteen4a03 yes i know how to extend the existing classes, but not what classes need to extend

XenForo's code is very developer friendly. If you have basic knowledge in MVC you should be able to find the class you need instantly.

Class names also match directory structure, so XenForo_ControllerPublic_Search exists under library/XenForo/ControllerPublic/Search.php as you would expect.

If you have debug enabled, you are also able to go directly to the routes to find the RoutePrefix which will in turn show you the controller that is being used.
