Plugin versions 3.09 and 3.10 together brought quite a lot of new things. That's why we decided to cover all those changes that appeared in the latest versions of the plugin.
New Features
New option to show fixed terms list inside search results
We extended the Misspelling fix option and now it has some additional value to choose from.
Misspelling option
In addition to simple On/Off for misspelling fix you can now enable misspelling fix and show what the new search terms plugin is currently searching for.
Search with automatic misspelling fix and text at the top
Or you can disable misspelling fix and instead show a list of suggested terms that the user can search for.
Misspelling fix is disabled. Instead the user can see a list of corrected terms

Bug fixes
Disable misspelling fix for numeric search terms
Misspelling fix feature will not apply for search queries that contain only numbers.
It can be enabled again if needed via aws_fuzzy_params filter by changing allow_numeric. parameter
add_filter( 'aws_fuzzy_params', 'my_aws_fuzzy_params', 10, 2 );
function my_aws_fuzzy_params( $fuzzy_params, $data ) {
$fuzzy_params['allow_numeric'] = true;
return $fuzzy_params;
}

Array of search results will again return product content and excerpt fields for search results inside the results page.
