NitroSearch for WooCommerce

ચેન્જલૉગ

1.10.0

• New: your search connection now renews itself. The plugin quietly refreshes its search credentials about once a day, so search keeps working even on stores whose settings screen is never opened. Previously the credentials were fetched once at setup and could eventually lapse on a long-untouched store.
• Sturdier against bad replies: a malformed response from the service (for example, a hosting proxy interfering) can no longer clear a working search connection. If a reply looks wrong, the plugin keeps what it has and tries again the next day.
• The Check status button now also refreshes the search credentials every time, giving you a one-click fix if search ever stops responding.

1.9.0

• New: NitroSearch in your language. The plugin now ships fully translated into Spanish, French, German, Italian, Dutch, Polish, and Portuguese — both European and Brazilian. That covers the settings screens, every message the plugin shows you, and the search box your shoppers use, right down to its screen-reader announcements. Your site’s language setting decides automatically; English stores are completely unchanged.
• The storefront search box picks up its translation from your site’s language — plural rules and all — once your store’s NitroSearch service updates. Nothing to configure.
• Fixed: the “Last sync” time now shows in your site’s own timezone and date format. It was shown as a raw UTC timestamp.
• Fixed: a failed connection no longer says “Connect failed” twice in the same message.
• Corrected in this listing: the filter list previously mentioned a price filter. The filters offered are category, brand, on-sale and in-stock.

1.8.0

• New: a Design tab. Choose a layout — Roomy, Compact, Big pictures or Text only — a colour scheme (Light, Dark, Automatic to follow each shopper’s device, or your own colours), corner style, and the font. Set how many products appear, where the filters go, and how wide the drop-down opens. Everything is stored on your own site and applied to the search box; none of it enlarges what your shoppers download.
• Fixed: product names were cut off mid-word. The drop-down was never allowed to be wider than your theme’s search box, so on a narrow header the filters column left almost no room for names. It now opens wide enough to read, names wrap to two lines instead of truncating, and the filters move above the results when the panel is genuinely tight.
• Fixed: the search box now uses your store’s font. It was falling back to the browser’s default serif on every site, because the widget renders in an isolated shadow root that inherits nothing from the page.
• Fixed: pale accent colours (yellows, light pastels) rendered white text on top of themselves. Label text on your accent colour is now automatically black or white, whichever stays readable.
• Fixed: with pages and posts switched on, their icons and labels had no background — a colour the stylesheet referenced but never defined.
• The NitroSearch mark now appears in the wp-admin menu, and follows your admin colour scheme.

1.7.0

• New: see the revenue your search drives. When a shopper adds a product to their basket from search results and goes on to buy it (within 7 days), the plugin reports that order’s search-attributed value to NitroSearch — a “Search-attributed revenue” figure appears in your analytics dashboards. Attribution happens entirely inside your store’s own session; the order number is hashed before it leaves your site, and no shopper details are ever sent. Respects the same Search usage data toggle — switch it off and nothing is reported.

1.6.0

• New: a Search analytics card on the NitroSearch screen — last-30-days searches, zero-result rate, click-through rate, your top searches, and the searches that found nothing. On paid plans; the free tier sees its monthly search count and what upgrading unlocks. The full dashboards live in your NitroSearch account.
• The card is cached for six hours and never slows wp-admin — a slow connection simply shows “couldn’t load” and retries.

1.5.0

• New: anonymous, cookieless search usage counts. The widget now tells NitroSearch what was searched, how many results appeared, and what got clicked — with no shopper identifiers, no cookies, and nothing stored in the shopper’s browser. It improves result ranking for your store; per-store reporting on your NitroSearch dashboard is on the roadmap. On by default, disclosed in External services above, and yours to switch off under NitroSearch → Appearance → Search usage data.
• A one-time notice in wp-admin explains the change and links to the toggle.
• Honesty pass on this listing: our pricing promise now reads “every search feature on every plan” — search itself is never tiered, and the limit counts search results (products, plus any pages and posts you switch on), matching how plans have counted since 1.4.0.

1.4.0

• Improved: the optional “Powered by NitroSearch” credit now links to nitrosearch.io and also appears once in your site footer. Still off by default — nothing is added to your site unless you turn it on.
• New: search your pages and blog posts too. Shoppers looking for “delivery times” or “how to care for leather” now find the page that answers them, shown in their own “Pages & posts” section beneath the products — never mixed in with your catalogue. Only titles, a short summary, categories, the featured image and the publish date are indexed; full page content is never copied.
• New: choose what gets searched under NitroSearch → Appearance → What to search. Products are always indexed; pages and blog posts are yours to switch on or off. They share the same allowance as your products, so turning them off frees it up for your catalogue — and when you do, they’re removed from your index.
• Privacy, by default: private, password-protected, draft, scheduled and trashed content is never indexed, and noindex set in Yoast SEO or Rank Math is honoured (per item, per content type, or site-wide). Membership and paywall plugins can exclude anything else through the nitrosearch_content_is_searchable filter.
• Your products always come first. If your plan is full, pages and posts are what gets held back — never your catalogue.
• Existing stores are unaffected until you opt in: pages and posts start switched off on an existing install, and on for a brand-new one.
• Improved: scheduled products and posts now index the moment they go live. Previously a post published on a schedule could sit unindexed until something else happened to edit it.
• Improved: switching a content type on no longer re-walks your entire catalogue — only the new content is enumerated, so a big store stays responsive.
• Fix: starting a new page or post no longer sends a needless removal for something that was never indexed.

1.3.1

• Fix: the plugin screen offered “search analytics” on your NitroSearch dashboard. That feature isn’t built yet, so the wording is corrected — it’s on the roadmap, and we’d rather say so than imply otherwise.

1.3.0

• Improved: gentler, faster first-time catalogue sync. Large catalogues now sync in the background in resumable batches instead of all at once, so connecting a big store no longer risks slowing down or timing out your site — and the sync paces itself to leave your storefront responsive for shoppers.
• Fix: corrected the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy links in the plugin description.

1.2.3

• Fix: the plugin and author links in the plugin header now point to separate pages, as the plugin directory requires.

1.2.2

• Documentation and directory assets refreshed.

1.2.1

• New: an optional “Powered by NitroSearch” credit in the search box — off by default; turn it on in Appearance if you’d like to show your support.
• Compatibility: tested up to WordPress 7.0.
• Housekeeping: hardened the catalogue-sync database queries.

1.2.0

• New: a Sync performance panel on the admin screen — average and most-recent batch speed, how many products have synced, batches sent, and when the next sync runs.
• New: a clear heads-up when your catalogue reaches your plan’s product limit, with a prompt to upgrade. Your existing search keeps running — only brand-new products wait until you upgrade.

1.1.0

• New: filters and a full results page — category, brand, price, on-sale and in-stock facets, a complete results grid with pagination, and add-to-cart right from the results.
• New: appearance settings — set an accent colour for prices, highlights and selected filters, and optionally point the widget at your theme’s search box.
• New: “Manage / Upgrade” — link your store to a NitroSearch account to manage your plan, without re-indexing or losing your search.
• Improved: a refreshed, clearer admin screen showing connection status and live sync health.
• Improved: faster, more accessible instant-search dropdown, with full keyboard navigation and recent searches.
• Improved: more reliable and more secure catalogue sync, with clearer connection and verification status.

1.0.0

• Initial release.
• One-click connect: link your store to NitroSearch from the WordPress admin.
• Automatic catalogue sync — products, prices, stock, categories, and attributes stay in sync as they change, with reliable background processing that keeps working even on low-traffic sites.
• Instant search widget — enhances your theme’s existing search box with fast, typo-tolerant product results as customers type. No theme rebuild required.
• Sync status screen so you can see exactly what is indexed.
