This allows you to search for articles within your own site and convert them into blog cards.</p>
<blockquote>
<p><strong>Important Notice:</strong><br />
  Starting from version 2.1.0, the block is rendered dynamically on the server side to improve stability.<br />
  <strong>Note:</strong> Manual edits made via “Edit as HTML” will be reset to the standard design.<br />
  If you see “Attempt Block Recovery” after updating, please click the button to recover the block.</p>
