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>Search analytics with visit logs and CSV export</li>
<li>Custom colors and styling (admin color picker + 6 presets)</li>
<li>External search suggestions (Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo proxies — opt-in)</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>Removes the “suggestions” that some plugins insert in the plugin search inside of WordPress.</p>
<p>At the beginning of April 2019, some plugins have started to insert results in the plugin search of WordPress. This plugin helps you to hide these “suggestions”. If you install and activate this plugin the WordPress plugin search inside of your WordPress will only show the organic results and no promoted ones.</p>
<p>The most popular plugins that add these “suggestions” are JetPack and WooCommerce.</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Version 7.1 of Jetpack added featured suggestions to plugin search results: “If a user searches for a plugin that has a feature that is already offered by Jetpack, the plugin will insert an artificial (and dismissible) search result into the first plugin card slot, identifying the corresponding Jetpack feature”.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Version 3.6 of WooCommerce added “Marketplace Suggestions”: “contextual mentions of official extensions that may be relevant to a customer”.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<blockquote>
<p>In the first version we hide the “suggestions” of Jetpack, WooCommerce and the <a href="https://github.com/tinyhelp/tinyhelp" rel="nofollow ugc">tinyhelp project</a> but we will add more as we notice them.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>If you install a plugin that injects ads in the WordPress plugin search of your WordPress, please send it to us so that we can include it in the plugin. Please note that we can only hide these “suggestions” from plugins that have a filter to hide them. Just send us the plugin and we will have a look: <a href="https://apasionados.es/contacto/index.php?desde=wordpress-org-remove-suggestions-from-plugin-search-results" rel="nofollow ugc">send us an email</a>.</p>
