How do I stop my Magento Theme Overriding Instant Search

Question

I have been setting up a Magento 1.9 site and using the excellent free Instant Search extension from Magestore.

After installing a new Theme, the Instant Search has since stopped working.

Is there an easy way to set the "weight" of extensions so they are not overridden by others?

Or does anyone know how I could make the Magestore Instant Search work with Ultimo theme?

Have you placed layout (.xml) and template (.phtml) files in ultimo theme? — Mohit Kumar Arora, Commented Jul 4, 2016 at 9:22
Hi Mohit, I haven't put any files in the ultimo theme folders (Sorry I'm a Magento novice!) — Darren, Commented Jul 5, 2016 at 11:41

You need to put layout and template files of Instant Search extension into layout and template folders respectively.

For instance:

Put layout file(s) of Instant Search extension into app/design/frontend/ultimo/default/layout folder.
Put template file(s) of Instant Search extension into app/design/frontend/ultimo/default/template folder.

Please let me know if the issue persists.
