*** Queryra – AI Semantic Search Changelog ***

2026-05-18 - version 1.3.1
* Fixed - Critical: bulk sync returned HTTP 422 on sites without custom taxonomies. The empty taxonomies field was serialized as a JSON array ([]) instead of an object ({}), failing API validation. Affected most sites (blogs and stores using only standard categories/tags). Initial import now works on all sites.

2026-05-07 - version 1.3.0
* Added - Automatic content extraction from page builders: Elementor, Breakdance, Beaver Builder, Oxygen (legacy shortcodes + modern JSON v2)
* Added - Automatic content extraction from ACF (Free + Pro) — text, textarea, wysiwyg, repeaters, groups
* Added - Automatic content extraction from Meta Box — text fields and group fields via rwmb_meta_boxes registry
* Added - Custom taxonomies — all public custom taxonomies (book_genre, material, location, etc.) now sent in new "taxonomies" API field, keyed by slug
* Added - Developer filter queryra_indexable_meta_content — extend postmeta extraction with custom field plugins (Pods, JetEngine, custom)
* Added - Developer filter queryra_indexable_taxonomies — control which custom taxonomies are indexed
* Added - Smart text filter for postmeta extraction — automatically excludes CSS values, hex colors, URLs, dates, and other technical strings
* Fixed - Search query now properly displayed in page title ("Search results for: ...") and stays in the search input on results pages — previously both were empty after AI resolved the query
* Fixed - Description duplication — auto-generated excerpts were repeating the first 30 words of content; only manual excerpts are now included (and skipped if a substring of content)
* Fixed - WooCommerce short_description duplication when it overlaps the long description
* Improved - Bulk sync prefetches all postmeta in one query per batch — dramatically faster for large sites with many custom fields

2026-05-07 - version 1.2.0
* Added - AI Discoverability: dynamic /llms.txt and /llms-full.txt for ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Google AI Overviews
* Added - Static file detection — if you already have llms.txt, the admin shows a copy-paste snippet to add the Queryra AI Search section
* Added - JSON-LD structured data: SearchResultsPage schema on search pages, Service schema site-wide, both attributing search to Queryra
