<p>Geweb AI Search transforms your WordPress search into an intelligent assistant powered by Google Gemini AI. Instead of returning a plain list of matching posts, it understands the user’s question and provides a direct, contextual answer — along with links to the source pages.</p>
<p>The plugin intercepts the standard WordPress search form and opens a modal with two modes: instant autocomplete suggestions (via WP_Query) and a full AI chat powered by Google Gemini File Search.</p>
<h4>Key Features</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>AI-Powered Answers</strong> — Uses Google Gemini File Search to find relevant content and generate natural-language answers</li>
<li><strong>Conversation History</strong> — Users can ask follow-up questions; the context is maintained across the session</li>
<li><strong>Source Attribution</strong> — Every AI answer includes links to the pages it was based on</li>
<li><strong>Instant Autocomplete</strong> — Traditional keyword search with live suggestions while typing</li>
<li><strong>Automatic Indexing</strong> — Posts are automatically uploaded to Gemini when published or updated</li>
<li><strong>Bulk Library Generation</strong> — Index all existing content with one click and a live progress indicator</li>
<li><strong>Multiple AI Models</strong> — Choose between Gemini 2.5 Flash, 2.5 Pro, and Gemini 3 models</li>
<li><strong>Multiple Post Types</strong> — Index any public post type: posts, pages, or custom post types</li>
<li><strong>Secure API Key Storage</strong> — API key is encrypted with libsodium before being stored in the database</li>
</ul>
<h4>How It Works</h4>
<ol>
<li>The plugin converts your WordPress posts to Markdown format (with URL and title in frontmatter)</li>
<li>Each document is uploaded to a Google Gemini File Search Store</li>
<li>When a user submits a search query, Gemini searches the indexed documents and generates an answer</li>
<li>The answer is displayed in a chat modal along with source links</li>
</ol>
