    Also, how can I prevent the creation of custom taxonomy and product indexes in Algolia?

    E.g. I see there the following indexes:

    • prod_terms_book_category
    • prod_terms_book_format
    • prod_posts_product

    Regarding virtual replicas, I’m not very familiar with them, so I am not completely sure. I also wonder if they’re a part of version 4 of https://github.com/algolia/algoliasearch-client-php which we’re not on yet with the plugin.

    The only way those extra indexes would be getting created is if you’ve toggled them on in the Autocomplete settings page. If you’re not using those any more, then you should be good to delete the index via the Algolia Dashboard. The “All Posts” option at the top would re-use the same index as the Search settings page, which is that wp_searchable_posts index name by default.

    1. Yes, I see it mentioned in the repo you shared. “**Modifier** – <mark>virtual</mark>(\"REPLICA\"). Create a virtual replica”

      Virtual replicas help reduce billing costs by not counting their records against Algolia records usage when you are on the Build or Premium plan. Do you plan to update the plugin to use v4? If so, when do you hope to complete it?
    2. Thank you. I disabled in them on the Autocomplete settings page.

    I know I opened https://github.com/WebDevStudios/wp-search-with-algolia/issues/402 last year, but no movement on it.

    I suspect there’d be a lot of internal changes we’d need to make with our integration with version 3.x of the PHP client, to work with version 4.

    Ohh, do you then plan to skip this version and implement version 5 when it comes out instead to reduce amount of work your team and the plugin users need to do to fix breaking changes? I am curious because I haven’t seen any new update on your ticket for over a year.

    We would need to discuss that, and inquire when Algolia is intending to have a version 5.

    Either way, looking forward to these new features in your plugin whenever they are available.

    Thank you.
