Unit abbreviations: Enhanced Native treats a number plus a unit abbreviation as the same measurement. 6", 6 in, 6-inch, and 6 inches match each other. Feet, yards, and metric units work the same way. A six-inch item does not match a six-foot query. A six-inch query also matches text written as 6 in. Shoppers no longer see the yellow suggest CORS notice.
Suggest proxy-first default: Suggest is same-origin proxy-first by default. Storefront metas emit stub seekmodo:token=proxy-local and seekmodo:gateway at the catalog origin so the SDK POSTs /v1/suggest (new catalog shim v1/suggest/index.php, deployed by ScriptedInstaller + tools/sync_catalog_shims.php). HMAC to mcp stays server-side — avoids browser CORS / adblock yellow notices.
SERP sort header label: SERP sort header shows Relevanz only when relevance is active — the Relevance menu injector no longer prepends Relevanz/Relevance into pagination or header language/currency menus that merely preserve a single sort=2a (or similar) in every link. Only real sort menus (2+ distinct sort= option values) get the Relevance choice, and the active-sort toggle rewrite is scoped to those menus. After choosing Artikelname / Product Name, the theme label stays ...
SERP shopper sort: With Seekmodo on, name / price / model / date (and asc/desc) re-order search results instead of staying locked to relevance. Relevance remains the default when no sort is chosen. Reuses each theme's native ORDER BY so custom storefront mappings stay correct.
pair opens in a new tab: Connect / Re-pair opens seekmodo.com in a new tab (formtarget=_blank) so Zen Cart admin stays available. Close the Seekmodo tab when pairing finishes (same pattern as BigCommerce and Shopify).
Over-quota recovery: after a billing-period reset, PreferLocal clears when resets_at has passed and soft-probes /v1/suggest so cloud Suggest resumes (WordPress parity). Over_quota rechecks every 5 minutes instead of daily.
broken suggest image recache: Images hydrate with mark_dirty=1 queues catalog dirty ids for Typesense image_url re-push; set images-hydrate-url on suggest; drain gateway pending_image_refresh_ids on snapshot pull.
recommendation hover stacking: Recommendations strip CSS/JS: horizontal scroll on a viewport wrapper with reserved bottom padding so theme product-card hover expansions are not clipped by following page sections (reviews, etc.).
