Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`<T> SearchProjectionFactoryExtensionIfSupportedMoreStep<P,R,E>`	`ifSupported(SearchProjectionFactoryExtension<T,R,E> extension, Function<T,? extends ProjectionFinalStep<P>> projectionContributor)`	If the given extension is supported, and none of the previous extensions passed to `ifSupported(SearchProjectionFactoryExtension, Function)` was supported, extend the current factory with this extension, apply the given function to the extended factory, and store the resulting projection for later retrieval.

```
<T> SearchProjectionFactoryExtensionIfSupportedMoreStep<P,R,E> ifSupported(SearchProjectionFactoryExtension<T,R,E> extension,
                                                                                       Function<T,? extends ProjectionFinalStep<P>> projectionContributor)
```
    If the given extension is supported, and none of the previous extensions passed to ifSupported(SearchProjectionFactoryExtension, Function) was supported, extend the current factory with this extension, apply the given function to the extended factory, and store the resulting projection for later retrieval.
    This method cannot be called after SearchProjectionFactoryExtensionIfSupportedMoreStep.orElse(Function) or SearchProjectionFactoryExtensionIfSupportedMoreStep.orElseFail().
    
    Type Parameters:
    
    T - The type of the extended factory.
    
    Parameters:
    
    extension - The extension to apply.
    
    projectionContributor - A function called if the extension is successfully applied; it will use the (extended) projection factory passed in parameter to create a projection, returning the final step in the projection DSL. Should generally be a lambda expression.
    
    Returns:
    
    this, for method chaining.
