Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Coywolf Search

No. The plugin answers the query behind /?s=, so your theme's existing search form and search results template keep working unchanged.

The index tables are dropped and WordPress goes back to its own search immediately. Your settings are kept, so reactivating and rebuilding restores exactly what you had. Nothing you wrote is ever stored only in the index — it is entirely derived from your posts.

No. Only published, non-password-protected posts of the types you selected are indexed, and every search re-checks the post's current status before returning it. A post you unpublish disappears from results straight away, even if the background reindex hasn't run yet.

No. There are no outbound HTTP requests, no analytics, and no remotely-loaded files. Everything runs on your own server.

No. Saving a post only flags it; the reindex happens in a background job a minute later, so the editor never waits for it.

Normally no. The index builds itself when you activate the plugin, and rebuilds itself whenever you change a setting that affects what gets stored — which post types, taxonomies, or fields are indexed, the minimum token length, stopwords, or stemming. Ranking settings like weights, k1, b, fuzzy, and prefix matching apply immediately and need no rebuild at all. The Rebuild index button on Settings → Search is there for the cases where you want to force it: a site with WP-Cron disabled, or content changed outside WordPress.

Nothing breaks. A rebuild clears the index and refills it, and while it is empty WordPress answers searches with its own built-in search — so visitors always get results, they just get better ones once the rebuild finishes. On a large site a rebuild runs in background batches over a few minutes.

It is built not to. Nothing loads on a page with no search box at all. On a page that has one, the only thing that loads up front is a small deferred script — the search library and the list of titles are fetched the first time somebody actually interacts with a search field, so visitors who never search never download them.

It attaches to any search form on the page, whether it came from the search block, get_search_form(), or hand-written markup, and it does it without altering your theme's markup. If your form is unusual enough that it is missed, the coywolf_search_should_enqueue filter lets you force it on.

The search form behaves exactly as it always did: it submits, and the server answers with the same ranked results. The suggestions are an enhancement on top, never a requirement.
