  • japanese can support well

    When I asked a question about using it with the WP Download Manager plugin, there was a polite answer about how to customize it, and it worked as desired. That's excellent.

  • chinese can support well

    I am a user from China, and I have used the search plug-in developed by you; my website has 2 million pieces of data, and the plug-in developed by you can really run efficiently. But there is one question that I would like to give feedback, and at the same time I would like to ask you if there is a better way to deal with this situation. When searching for a keyword with a number such as \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"10个\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\", the plug-in does not return the result, but always displays the loading process, which may even cause the website to be abnormal. Hope to get your reply, thank you！
