For anyone else trying to override the 'advanced-search' element-reader, from what I can see it's not possible.

advanced-search is both configured and used in the web-client-config.xml file. It's the use of advanced-search within web-client-config.xml that stops it being overriden.

In the end I had to create a new tag called <custom-advanced-search>

e.g:


<config evaluator="string-compare" condition="Advanced Search">
 <advanced-search>
    …
 </advanced-search>
 <custom-advanced-search>
   …
 </custom-advanced-search>
</config>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

A reader for this tag can then be configured in web-client-config-custom.xml:


<plug-ins>
  <element-readers>
    <element-reader element-name="custom-advanced-search" class="com.someco.web.config.CustomAdvancedSearchElementReader" />
  </element-readers>
</plug-ins>
