Directorist AI Search 1.0.0
Directorist AI Search is a WordPress directory search plugin that enhances a business directory search workflow for sites using the Directorist theme/plugin. This AI-driven extension improves search relevance, helps users discover listings faster, and supports more natural queries, creating a smoother experience for visitors while staying lightweight and easy to integrate.
Description
Directorist AI Search is a WordPress add-on designed to improve how visitors find listings in a Directorist-powered directory.
