2. Enter API Key:
   • To enable AI-powered searches, you’ll need to enter your API key.

3. Configure Search Options:

   • Enable Document Search:
     • This option activates semantic search capabilities. It replaces the default WordPress and WooCommerce search functionalities with AI-powered search, which provides more intelligent and relevant results.
   • Enable Image Search:
     • This enables an image search feature on your website, allowing users to search for products by uploading images.
   • Enable Related Documents:
     • This option allows the AI to recommend cross-sell items for your products. To display these recommendations, ensure that the following shortcode is added to the single product page template:
       recommended_products
   • Enable Refine Content:
     • This option helps you optimize your product or post content for AI searches. If enabled, the plugin will automatically refine your content for better search performance. However, note that training your posts/products might take longer with this option enabled.
   • Enable Translation:
     • This feature enables multilingual search on your website and automatically corrects any misspelled search terms. It enhances user queries, providing them with the best possible search results.
4. Set Search Limits:
   • You can set the number of search results displayed per page:
     • Search Limit: Defines how many results are shown on the search page.
     • Related Documents Limit: Determines how many recommended products are displayed under the AI recommendation section.

   • Button Position: Set the position of the image search button (e.g., above or below product details).
2. Enable Floating Button:
   • You can choose to enable or disable the floating search button on your website. When enabled, the button will float and remain visible as the user scrolls through the page.

Step 4: Reports & Usage

1. View Search Reports:
   • The plugin includes a Reports tab where you can monitor the number of searches and AI training sessions remaining in your account. This feature provides insight into how many searches your users have performed and how many posts or products have been trained for AI search.
