About this plugin
Give your visitors instant, typo-tolerant search, combined with AI answers that are based on only your content. SearchCue takes minutes to install, and since you don’t have to hold the local index in your database, it keeps your backend clean.

Pricing The plugin is free and GPL-licensed. The hosted service starts with a 15-day free trial, no credit card required. After that, plans start at €9 per month and include an AI answer allowance. You can set a hard monthly AI budget; once it is reached, SearchCue falls back to keyword results at no extra cost. Paying for AI answers beyond the allowance is always optional. See the current SearchCue pricing and plan limits . External services SearchCue is a hosted site search and optional cited AI answer service. The plugin makes these external requests: Setup and admin analytics: When an administrator submits the connection form, the plugin sends the email address, site URL, WordPress admin return URL, and a random setup state to https://central.searchcue.com . It later exchanges a one-time handoff token there and uses the assigned API key to retrieve site search analytics. Automatic content updates: While Automatic updates is enabled, the plugin sends the site hostname, an IndexNow verification key, and changed public URLs to https://central.searchcue.com so SearchCue can refresh the index. It sends the parent product URL after product or variation changes. Administrators can disable this in SearchCue settings. WooCommerce catalog indexing: SearchCue requests WooCommerce products and visible variations from an authenticated plugin endpoint. The plugin returns names, descriptions, public URLs, product and variation IDs, SKUs, prices and currency, sale and stock status, categories and tags, attributes, images, and timestamps. Only published, visible catalog data is returned. The plugin excludes drafts, hidden or password-protected products, orders, customers, and download files. Visitor search: After the site is connected, public pages load executable code from https://searchcue.com/search-embed.js . That embed contacts https://central.searchcue.com and https://edge.searchcue.com to load settings, perform searches, and record visitor search terms, originating page paths, whether searches returned results, clicked result paths, and search performance and outcome metrics. If cited answers are enabled, visitor questions and relevant indexed excerpts are sent to SearchCue for cited answer generation. Admin interface fonts are bundled with the plugin under the SIL Open Font License 1.1 and do not make external requests. The font license texts are included with the font files. Like other web requests, these connections disclose network information such as the requester IP address and browser user agent. SearchCue uses the data to provide, secure, maintain, troubleshoot, and improve the service and to show search analytics to the site administrator. Site administrators are responsible for providing any visitor privacy notices and obtaining any consent required for their site. Use of the service is governed by the SearchCue Terms and Conditions . Data handling is described in the SearchCue Privacy Policy . Hosted service disclosure SearchCue is a software-as-a-service (SaaS) product operated by DoNoHarm GmbH. This plugin connects your site to SearchCue, which crawls or receives public content, hosts the search index, and serves visitor searches and optional AI answers. A SearchCue account is required. The plugin does not provide search locally without the hosted service. By connecting a site, an administrator agrees to the SearchCue terms and acknowledges the privacy policy: Service: https://searchcue.com/ Terms and Conditions: https://searchcue.com/terms/ Privacy Policy: https://donoharm.world/privacy-policy/searchcue/
