AI Search for WordPress enhances the search experience by:
– Replacing the default WordPress search with an AI-powered intelligent search system.
– Generating embeddings for posts using OpenAI’s text-embedding-3-small
model via an external Node.js service (Open AI account isn’t necessary).
– Managing embeddings centrally with per-origin quota control.
– Caching results locally using WordPress transients.
– Ranking posts based on similarity using cosine similarity metrics.
Features
- Intelligent Search: AI-powered context inference.
- Remote Embedding Service: Embeddings stored in a central MySQL database through a Node.js API.
- Admin Settings: Manage global token and service URL.
- Bulk Embedding Generation: Generate embeddings for multiple posts or custom post types.
- Caching: Local transient caching.
