 * Hi, In former plugin versions I’ve been requesting search keywords with an API
   like:
 * `/wp-json/wp/v2/search?search=bodycheck`
   In the current version it has been disabled.
 * Could you please let me know what has changed regarding this? How should I request
   WP for proper search results?
 * Much appreciated!

 * Nailed it.
 * You need to add `&wpessid` parameter to make it work again
