 * Hey!
 * Thank you for a great plugin. Impressive functionality.
 * I’m testing it with WP 6.6 RC2 and PHP 8.3, and when Ajax Search Lite is enabled,
   and I open Dashboard > Appearance > Widgets, I get the following warning:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       Notice: Function wp_enqueue_script() was called incorrectly. "wp-editor" script should not be enqueued together with the new widgets editor (wp-edit-widgets or wp-customize-widgets). Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information. (This message was added in version 5.8.0.) in /home/sustain2/oldrup.net/wp-includes/functions.php on line 6085
       ```
   
 * Disabling Ajax Search Lite makes it go away.
 * WP_DEBUG needs to be enabled, and I’m using a classic theme, suppose that’s required
   too.
 * Is that something you can reproduce?
 * Btw the functionality appears fine. It’s just a backend notice, so not critical
   by any means.

 * Hi,
 * Thank you for letting me know Bjarne!
 * It’s a known issue, a wrong dependency is called on for the block editor script.
   It should not cause any issues. I have already fixed it on the Pro version, the
   Lite version 4.12.1 will include the fix too 🙂
 * All the best,
   Ernest
