Changelog

1.2.4

• Changed: The minimum PHP version is now 8.3. The plugin’s dependencies already required PHP 8.2/8.3, so the previously advertised 8.1 requirement was not accurate.
• Security: The public search REST route and search ability now scope the query itself to public post types, so hit totals and facet counts can no longer reveal indexed non-public content.
• Changed: The plugin’s options moved off the wp_ prefix, which is reserved for WordPress core. Existing settings are migrated automatically on first load.
• Changed: The settings screen moved to options-general.php?page=loupe-search.
• Removed: The 12-hour cache in front of the public search route. Caching every query from an unauthenticated route could grow the options table without bound.
• Removed: Third-party command line entry points and build config from the release package.
• Removed: The unused language-detection n-gram databases from the release package, which drops it from 197 MB to 25 MB.
• Fixed: The indexer stripped tags using a deprecated filter name.
• Added: The loupe_search_max_cacheable_query_length filter (default 128) bounds which queries are written to the result cache.

1.2.3

• Changed: Updated the plugin screenshots to reflect the current settings UI.
• Changed: Corrected the screenshot descriptions to match the current Search Behavior tab.

1.2.2

• Security: Public REST search endpoints and the search abilities now only return results from public post types.
• Security: Field settings now sanitize the nested post-type and field-name keys.
• Changed: Updated the bundled Loupe search engine to 1.0.1 (compound-word decomposition, improved excerpt cropping).
• Removed: The bundled plugin update checker library; updates are served by WordPress.org.
• Fixed: Admin help-tab styles are now enqueued instead of printed in an inline style tag.
• Fixed: Removed a broken documentation link and excluded development/test folders from the release package.

1.2.1

• Fixed: The loupe_search_post_types filter now applies everywhere. It was only applied when resolving the front-end search scope, so the indexer, the REST API and the WordPress Abilities kept using the raw settings value. The settings screen still shows the stored option.
• Fixed: Uninstalling now deletes the plugin’s options and cached search results, on every site of a multisite network. Previously only the index directories were removed.
• Fixed: Removed a bootstrap short-circuit that skipped plugin initialization on REST requests whose path did not start with /wp-json/wp-loupe.
• Fixed: The Composer package is now soderlind/loupe-search, and its PSR-4 prefix is no longer over-escaped.
• I18n: Regenerated loupe-search.pot. It now includes the ability and highlighting strings added in 1.2.0, and the plugin URI no longer points at the old repository.
• Removed: The unused WP_Loupe_Migration class and WP_Loupe_Utils::is_post_indexable().
• Documentation: Added an architecture guide and a docs index, and corrected the filter, rename and migration guides.

1.2.0

• Added: REST search now supports opt-in highlighting and cropping. Send attributesToHighlight and/or attributesToCrop (field names or ["*"]) to the POST /search endpoint; each hit then includes a _formatted object with matched terms wrapped in tags and/or cropped snippets. Tag/marker and length are configurable via highlightStartTag, highlightEndTag, cropLength, and cropMarker. Highlight tags are sanitized to a safe allowlist.
• Changed: WordPress Abilities are now registered as loupe-search/search and loupe-search/get-post under the loupe-search category. The legacy wp-loupe/search and wp-loupe/get-post abilities remain registered as deprecated aliases and will be removed in a future major release.

1.1.1

• Fixed: Front-end search now works when a public, searchable post type (e.g. attachments) is not indexed. Previously the plugin bailed out and fell back to WordPress’s default search, returning no Loupe results.

1.1.0

• Changed: Developer filters now use the loupe_search_* prefix.
• Changed: REST namespace is now loupe-search/v1; WP-CLI command is now wp loupe-search; the index folder is now wp-content/loupe-search-db (existing installs keep using wp-loupe-db if present).
• Deprecated: The wp_loupe_* filters, the wp-loupe/v1 REST namespace, the wp wp-loupe CLI command, and the wp-loupe-db folder name are deprecated but still work for backward compatibility; they will be removed in a future major release.

1.0.0

• Added: Redesigned settings screen with Dashboard, Fields, and Search Behavior tabs.
• Added: Dashboard showing per-post-type index health, a reindex panel with a progress bar and Cancel button, and a system status check for required PHP extensions.
• Added: REST endpoint GET /wp-json/wp-loupe/v1/index-status returning index health for configured post types.
• Changed: Replaced the Select2 post-type dropdown with an accessible native checkbox picker.
• Changed: Field configuration for each post type is now shown in collapsible accordions.
• Changed: Updated the contextual help tabs to match the redesigned settings screen and removed references to controls that no longer exist.
• Removed: Select2 dependency and its bundled assets.
• Removed: Auto-update settings toggle; per-plugin auto-updates are now handled by WordPress core.

0.8.5

• Added: WordPress Abilities API integration (WordPress 6.9+) registering wp-loupe/search and wp-loupe/get-post abilities for native AI agent and automation discovery.
• Changed: Lowered minimum PHP requirement to 8.1; raised minimum WordPress to 6.9.
• Changed: Prepared for the WordPress.org plugin directory; updates are now handled by WordPress.org.
• Removed: Experimental MCP (Model Context Protocol) server, token service, and WP-CLI token commands (replaced by the WordPress Abilities API).
• Removed: GitHub-based plugin updater.

0.8.4

• Changed: Updated PHP dependencies to loupe/loupe 0.13.12, phpunit/phpunit 12.5, and pestphp/pest 4.5.

0.8.3

0.8.2

0.8.1

• Fixed: Search hooks now activate for AJAX requests (e.g., live search), resolving missing results in AJAX-powered search forms.
• Fixed: Pagination respects the query posts_per_page variable before falling back to the global option.
• Fixed: should_intercept_query() intercepts AJAX search requests, not only main queries.
• Changed: Search engine retrieves up to 1 000 hits per post type before client-side paging to prevent truncated result sets.
• Changed: Updated PHP and JavaScript dependencies.

0.8.0

• Added: Batched reindexing to avoid admin request timeouts on large sites.
• Added: Admin-only maintenance REST endpoint: POST /wp-json/wp-loupe/v1/reindex-batch.
• Added: WP-CLI command for batched reindexing: wp wp-loupe reindex.
• Added: Pest test runner (dev) alongside PHPUnit.
• Changed: Reindexing is triggered via a separate admin UI button (not tied to saving settings).

0.7.0

• Added: Search API guide with hook-based field preparation examples (facets, geo, sorting).
• Added: Filter wp_loupe_is_safely_sortable_meta_{$post_type} to override meta sortability decisions.
• Fixed: Geo-point meta fields are treated as sortable-safe for distance sorting.

0.6.0

• Added: Split search engine (side-effect free) from front-end hooks to avoid REST/MCP side effects.
• Added: Advanced REST search API via POST /wp-json/wp-loupe/v1/search (JSON filters, facets, geo, sorting).
• Removed: Bundled UI integration (block/shortcode/search form override). Build your own UI using the REST API.
• Changed: Upgraded loupe/loupe to 0.13.4 and tightened runtime requirements checks.
• Fixed: Reindexing now safely rebuilds/migrates indexes across Loupe schema upgrades.
• Fixed: Guarded against empty wp_loupe_db_path filter values.

0.5.7

• Added: Always expose core WordPress fields (post_title, post_content, post_excerpt, post_date, post_modified, post_author, permalink) in REST field discovery and settings UI even if unchecked for indexing.
• Changed: Field discovery flow now starts with mandatory core fields then merges schema & meta keys for stable UI state.
