== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Is this production ready? =

This is currently an open beta, ready for testing. It doesn't perform any destructive operations since it generates a dedicated search index. On the other hand we are securing the access to the search index.

As of today we recommend testing it in staging environment and pay special attention to the search index that has following naming convention:

`/wp-content/admin_compass_[random characters].db`

We recommend securing it manually using .htaccess

= How do I open the search palette? =

You can open the search palette by using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Shift + F, or by clicking the "magnifying glass" icon in the WordPress admin top-bar.

= Can I change the keyboard shortcut? =

Currently, the keyboard shortcut is not customizable, but we're planning to add this feature in a future update.

= Is this plugin compatible with WooCommerce? =

It will be compatible with upcoming PRO version. Once available it will be able to search for products and orders if WooCommerce is installed and activated.

= How secure is the search index? =

The search index is stored in a SQLite database with a randomized filename, located in a protected directory within your WordPress installation. The database file permissions are set to be restrictive,

= Can I use this plugin on a multisite installation? =

While the plugin should work on individual sites within a multisite installation, it has not been extensively tested in a multisite environment. Use with caution and test thoroughly.
