ElasticProbe version 1.2 was released at 17th august of 2025 to the WordPress plugin directory. This release brings yet another feature to the public, Autosuggest.
With Autosuggest enabled, search bars show a suggestions section while the user is typing its search query. This section is only enabled on the 4th typed character. Anything before 4th character is considered too broad for a search query. By default, autosuggest would suggest up to 5 results and it has some basic style applied but it can be greatly customized if the need arises. In the future, based on the requests we might add more styling.
The Autosuggest feature like its predecessor Instant Results, bypasses WordPress and directly sends its queries to ElasticProbe backend, making its time performance lightning fast. As a consequence, this feature would not be available to “bring your own ElasticSearch” users. This article explains this decision more.
