## Description

Visitors are finding your website, but they are not finding your products and content.

 * FoundThis lets website visitors search your website, in their own language.
 * Users can type in any search term, in any language. It then auto-translates the
   search query to your site language.
 * It then expands your website’s search using AI, ensuring that your products and
   content is always found.
 * Searches are logged, so that you can gain intelligence on what your visitors 
   are actually searching for, allowing you to optimize your products and content.
 * Works with all WordPress e-Commerce plugins, including WooCommerce.
 * Lets international visitors find what they want on your website.
 * Allows for any searches in any language.

The plugin is designed to be:

 * Opt-in (you must enable optimization)
 * Fail-open (if the API is unavailable, WordPress search remains unchanged)

### External services

 * This plugin connects to the FoundThis API to translate search queries.
 * Pro Version expands the search query using AI, ensuring your client always finds
   your products in your shop catalog as well as any content on your site.

Service: FoundThis API
 – Service URL: https://api.foundthis.us/

Endpoints used by this plugin:
 – API key registration: https://api.foundthis.us/
api/v1/store/register – Connection diagnostics: https://api.foundthis.us/api/v1/
store/status – Search optimization: https://api.foundthis.us/api/v1/query/interpret

Data sent:
 – Search query text – Site language – Store identifier

Why the store identifier is needed:

 * It lets the FoundThis API associate requests with your store for quota and plan
   enforcement.
 * It is not used to access your WordPress admin or your customer data.

When data is sent:
 – When you connect/register this site (to create an API key)–
When optimization is enabled and the site receives front-end search requests – When
you click the “ Test Connection” button in the plugin settings

Purpose:
 – Improve search relevance by returning an optimized query

Privacy policy:
 – https://api.foundthis.us/privacy

Notes:
 – The API enforces plan gating and quota. – If the API is unavailable, the
site search should continue to function.

### Developers

Filters:
 – `foundthis_core_api_base_url` (string): Override the API base URL (advanced/
dev use). – `foundthis_core_should_optimize_query` (bool, WP_Query): Return false
to skip optimization for a given query. – `foundthis_core_expanded_query` (string,
original, lang, WP_Query): Modify the optimized query before it is applied.

## Installation

 1. Upload the plugin folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`.
 2. Activate the plugin.
 3. Go to FoundThis -> Settings.
 4. Enable optimization and click “ Save Settings” .
 5. If the plugin does not connect automatically, click “ Connect to FoundThis (Create
    API Key)” .

When enabled and saved, the plugin can automatically register your site with the
FoundThis API and stores an API key in the WordPress options table.

## FAQ

### What happens when I deactivate or uninstall?

Deactivating the plugin stops optimization.

Uninstalling the plugin removes the plugin’s settings stored in the WordPress options
table.

### Does this plugin send data off-site?

Yes. When enabled, this plugin sends search queries to the FoundThis API for optimization.

See the “ External services” section above for details.
