## Descrizione

**Tired of slow or irrelevant WordPress search results?**

Fast Fuzzy Search replaces the default WordPress search with an instant, typo-friendly
search bar that works out of the box. Built for WooCommerce, blogs, documentation
portals, and custom post types.

The plugin includes a REST API endpoint for cache-plugin compatibility, a file-based
search index with configurable expiration, and Alpine.js-driven reactive UI with
zero external CDN dependencies.

### Features

 * **Live AJAX Search** — Instant results as the visitor types, no page reload.
 * **Typo-Tolerant Fuzzy Engine** — Powered by uFuzzy. “blu cap” still finds “blue
   cap”.
 * **WooCommerce Integration** — Search by name, SKU, category, tags, and attributes.
   Shows prices and thumbnails inline.
 * **10 Built-In Themes** — Minimal Light, Minimal Dark, Material Light, Material
   Dark, Glassmorphic, Brutal, Iris, Crisp, Terracotta, Editorial. Each fully styled
   with hover, focus, and selected states.
 * **Custom Aesthetic Editor (Pro)** — Inline CSS editor in the admin panel. Select
   any built-in theme as a base, and custimize.
 * **Primary Color Customization** — All themes use the configured primary color
   via CSS custom properties. No hardcoded colors.
 * **Multiple Trigger Types** — Floating icon button, text button, search field,
   or hybrid input-button.
 * **Auto Mode + Shortcode** — Render sitewide via `wp_body_open` or embed manually
   with `[fast_fuzzy_search]`.
 * **Post-Type Filters** — Show/hide filter chips above results. Exclude content
   types from indexing.
 * **Smart File Cache** — Search index stored as a flat JSON file in `wp-content/
   cache/`. Configurable expiration.
 * **REST API Endpoint** — `POST /wp-json/fast-fuzzy-search/v1/search` for cache-
   plugin compatibility. Falls back to `admin-ajax.php`.
 * **Polylang Compatible** — Works with multilingual sites using Polylang.
 * **Custom Post Type Support** — Indexes all public post types by default.
 * **Zero External Dependencies** — All assets (Alpine.js, uFuzzy, CSS) are self-
   hosted. No CDNs, no trackers.

### Why Fast Fuzzy Search?

 * **Instant AJAX Results** — Lightning-fast feedback as you type
 * **Typo-Tolerant Matching** — “blu cap” still finds “blue cap”
 * **Fully Self-Hosted** — 100% of your data stays on your server
 * **Zero Configuration** — Install, activate, and go
 * **Works with Polylang** — Multilingual for Latin script languages
 * **Lightweight & Performant** — Optimized for 50,000+ posts
 * **10 Built-In Themes** — Drop-in themes included, plus a custom CSS editor

## Installazione

 1. Upload to `/wp-content/plugins/` or install via Plugins > Add New.
 2. Activate the plugin.
 3. Customize under **Settings > Fast Fuzzy Search**.
 4. Optionally use `[fast_fuzzy_search]` shortcode to embed search manually.

## FAQ

### Is it compatible with WooCommerce?

Yes. Automatically indexes WooCommerce products by name, SKU, category, tags, and
attributes (Pro). Shows prices and featured images in search results.

### Will it slow down my site?

No. The search index is cached as a flat file with configurable expiration. The 
front-end loads Alpine.js and uFuzzy asynchronously. No external requests.

### Can I use it with a custom post type?

Yes. All public post types are indexed by default. You can exclude specific types
from the settings page.

### How do I create a custom theme?

Select Custom from the Aesthetic dropdown (Pro). An inline CSS editor appears. Pick
any built-in theme as a base, click Load Base Theme, and the CSS is rewritten with`.
fast-fuzzy-search--custom` selectors. Edit freely and save.

### Does it work with caching plugins?

Yes. The search index is fetched via the WordPress REST API (`/wp-json/fast-fuzzy-
search/v1/search`) with a cache-busting parameter. Falls back to `admin-ajax.php`
if REST is unavailable. The index itself is stored as a static file outside the 
database.

### How do I embed the search in a specific page?

Use the `[fast_fuzzy_search]` shortcode. Optionally pass attributes: `placeholder`,`
aesthetic`, `type`.

### Can I override the search template?

Yes. Copy any file from `template-parts/` into your child theme at the same relative
path. The plugin checks the child theme before falling back to its own files.

### Is it multilingual?

The plugin is compatible with Polylang. The search index respects the current site
locale.
