Funciona bien It works well, good support
Funciona muy bien, excelente y simple. Solo un error en un panel, pero el soporte de Mark encontró lo que generaba el conflicto y así se corrigió. Muy amable soporte. It works very well, excellent and simple. Just a bug in a dashboard, but Mark's support found what was causing the conflict and it was fixed. Very friendly support.

Wont save new settings
This plugin seems very promising. Nice user friendly and understandable interface. But plugin is useless while it not save custom settings.Please test and update this very essential plugin. I will be happy to upgrade my review when this plugin will work as expected.

Es genial, instalado en todas mis webs.
Es un plugin fantastico, lo tengo instalado en todas mis webs, y en tiendas de clientes. Este plugin me ayuda a comprender y a saber que es lo que buscan los usuarios, y así conocer si estoy dando un resultado correcto, o hacer contenido para esa búsqueda. Sencillamente es genial, esta super bien. Cuando instalas el plugin te hace un recorrido por todas las funciones del mismo algo mágico. Gracias por hacer un plugin tan bueno.

Great plugin that I 100% recommend, but still needs a few features
As stated in the title, 100% recommended to use this plugin, has a nice UX and does nicely what is says it does. Features needed: - table/list of most popular searches (sorted/sortable by different parameters) [Option to Show all by number of searches - this is absolutely essential] - should be able to identify if search was done by user or guest - should identify if user purchased in declared interval after searching [WooCommerce] (and have hooks ready to use for different automations)
