Does this replace WordPress’s default search?
Yes. The plugin replaces standard WordPress search forms and also provides a shortcode, widget, and Gutenberg block.
Do I need to reindex after changing settings?
Usually no for ranking-only changes such as fuzzy matching, synonyms, or phrase boosts. Reindex after changing indexed post types, stop words, or other settings that affect stored index data.
Can I search custom post types?
Yes. Publicly queryable post types can be enabled from the plugin settings.
Does it work with caching plugins?
Yes. Live results use AJAX, while normal search result pages can still be cached by your site stack.
What happens on uninstall?
The plugin removes its custom data when uninstalled.
