 * Hello Team,
 * First of all, thank you very much for this great plugin!
 * I would like to replace the default WordPress search functionality with Meilisearch.
   However, from what I can see, your plugin currently only provides a custom search
   block that displays instant results using Meilisearch.
 * My goal is to have the standard WordPress core search to use Meilisearch as well(
   instead of the SQL search).
 * Is there a way to achieve this with your plugin? If not, is this something you
   plan to support in the future?
 * Thank you in advance!

 * Hello [@benniledl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/benniledl/) ,
 * Thank you for using our plugin and for your patience regarding our delayed response.
 * You’re absolutely right — at the moment, the plugin only offers an autocomplete
   search block.
 * We’re currently developing an enhanced search experience through an Instant Search
   block, intended to serve as a replacement for the standard core search. However,
   due to some limitations within Gutenberg and the time required for proper research
   and development, we’re still in the process of ensuring that the block will be
   user-friendly, fully functional, and easily extendable.
 * While we’re actively working on this feature, we’re unable to provide an exact
   timeline for its release. Rest assured, we’ll notify you as soon as it becomes
   available.
 * Once again, thank you for your continued support and for using our plugin.
 * Regards,
   Pono Press
