Biwem inc.

<p><strong>Biwem Search Autocomplete</strong> brings real-time, intelligent autocomplete suggestions to your WooCommerce store. Visitors find what they’re looking for in seconds — even if they misspell, abbreviate, or only know the SKU.</p>
<p>The plugin is built around four ideas:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Speed</strong>. Suggestions appear as the visitor types, with multi-level caching that keeps response times low even on shared hosting.</li>
<li><strong>Forgiveness</strong>. Built-in fuzzy matching catches typos and missing letters automatically. Searching “trapno” still finds the trapano.</li>
<li><strong>Smart matching</strong>. Beyond plain titles, the plugin also matches product SKUs and EAN/GTIN codes, so warehouse and B2B users find products by code instantly.</li>
<li><strong>Compatibility</strong>. Works with any theme, any WooCommerce setup, any cache plugin. No assumptions about your stack.</li>
</ol>
<h4>What’s included</h4>
<ul>
<li>Real-time autocomplete suggestions in the search box</li>
<li>Configurable number of product / post / page suggestions per query (you choose how many)</li>
<li><strong>Multilingual smart fuzzy matching</strong> — automatic typo recovery in English, Italian, Spanish, French, and German (handles missing letters, swapped letters, vowel substitution)</li>
<li><strong>Automatic accent normalization</strong> — café/über/straße/niño/français all matched without typing the accents</li>
<li>SKU and EAN/GTIN exact match (a customer who knows the code finds the product immediately)</li>
<li><strong>Multi-content search</strong> — products, blog posts, and pages in a single dropdown (toggle each independently)</li>
<li>Product thumbnails in the dropdown</li>
<li>Product price display with regular/sale formatting (uses WooCommerce currency settings)</li>
<li>Loading indicator while suggestions are fetched</li>
<li>Out-of-stock filter — hide unavailable products from suggestions</li>
<li>Multi-level caching (in-memory + 10-minute transient) for fast responses</li>
<li>Translation-ready (compatible with WPML, Polylang and Loco Translate)</li>
<li>5 bundled admin languages out of the box: English, Italian, Spanish, French, German</li>
<li>Works with any theme — no required modifications</li>
<li>Drop-in shortcode <code>[wcsa_search_autocomplete]</code> with 4 design styles</li>
</ul>
<h4>Privacy-first by design</h4>
<p>This plugin makes <strong>zero external calls</strong>. Everything runs on your own server. No data is sent anywhere — ever.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>No phone-home updates.</strong> Updates come from WordPress.org.</li>
<li><strong>No usage tracking.</strong> No statistics, analytics, or telemetry are collected.</li>
<li><strong>No GeoIP lookup.</strong> The plugin does not look up your visitors’ country.</li>
</ul>
<p>The plugin is fully GDPR-friendly.</p>
<h4>Pro version</h4>
<p>A separate Pro version with advanced features is available at <a href="https://www.biwem.it/autocomplete" rel="nofollow ugc">https://www.biwem.it/autocomplete</a>. Pro features include:</p>
<ul>
<li>SHORTINIT fast search engine (sub-50ms response times)</li>
<li>Real-time AI chat for natural-language product discovery</li>
<li>Synonyms management</li>

<li>Configurable thumbnail size</li>
<li>Category labels and breadcrumb in dropdown</li>
<li>Focus mode on desktop (full-screen search overlay)</li>
</ul>
<p>The Pro version is distributed exclusively from biwem.it as a separate plugin (it is not hosted on WordPress.org). The Free version on WordPress.org remains fully functional and free forever.</p>
<h3>External services</h3>
<p>This plugin does not connect to, send data to, or rely on any external services. All functionality runs entirely on your own server:</p>
<ul>
<li>Product search and SKU/EAN lookups are processed locally via WordPress’s own database. No third-party APIs are involved.</li>
<li>The plugin’s REST endpoint <code>/wp-json/wcsa/v1/suggestions</code> is internal — it is served by your own WordPress installation, on your own domain, and is called only by the front-end autocomplete script running in the visitor’s browser.</li>
</ul>
<p>No analytics, no telemetry, no tracking, no remote calls of any kind.</p>

<p>Boomerang provides a simple interface for your users or customers to provide feedback about your goods or services. While created with feature requests in mind, you can use Boomerang to collect any form of feedback from your customers, staff, potential leads and so on.</p>
<p>It all starts with a board. And with Boomerang, you can create as many as you want. Boards contain Boomerangs. These are the individual pieces of feedback your users provide. Whenever a user creates a ‘Boomerang’, it is assigned to a chosen board. So if you are a software company with multiple products, you are all set. If you run a chain of hotels, each hotel can have a board, and you can easily keep track of your feedback.</p>
<p>Here’s where Boomerang get’s really clever. Each board has its own set of options. Because we know that collecting feedback may not be done the same way across your whole product or service offer. So go ahead and customise each one accordingly.</p>
<h3>✨ Features</h3>
<h4>A Modern User Interface</h4>
<p>Boomerang features a slick user interface, closer to alternatives such as Canny or Frill. If you’ve used those (and cringed at the price they charge) you’ll feel right at home. Boomerang comes with it’s own global styles, so you can get started right away. However, if you are a web designer and happy using CSS, you can turn these off for a more native, non-opinionated experience.</p>
<p>For administrators, nearly everything can be achieved on the front-end. Delete a Boomerang. Change it’s status. And so on. You deserve a great experience too.</p>
<h4>Granular Control</h4>
<p>The most basic Boomerang has a title, and some content. That’s it. Everything else a Boomerang might need, can be switched on individually. When you create a board, these are all turned off by default. The easiest way to learn what the features do is to turn them on, one at a time. Experiment with how feature rich you want your Boomerangs to be. And if you need a bit more guidance, each feature has a description to tell you more.</p>
<h4>The Boomerang Block</h4>
<p>The Boomerang archive comes with everything you need to create and list Boomerangs. A modern, AJAX-enabled form. AJAX-enabled filters to narrow down the Boomerang list. But how do you display it? Add your Boomerang listing to any page, using the Boomerang shortcode (you’ll see this at the top of each board’s settings page). Even easier, you could use the Boomerang Block to pick a board you’ve already created, and add that directly into your block editor.</p>
<h4>Statuses</h4>
<p>Some plugins don’t let you edit your statuses. Boomerang gives you full control over them. You create them, you edit them, you assign them to Boomerangs. And you do all that in the Boomerang Status Center. You’ll find it in the Boomerang menu.</p>
<h4>Amazing Help and Support</h4>
<p>Feel free to ask questions in the plugin support forum. You can see the link at the top of this page. Alternatively, you will find a ‘Contact Us’ item on the Boomerang menu.Please don’t hesitate to reach out! We really want to meet you, and find out more about how you are using Boomerang.
