Changelog
Notable product changes, newest first.
#24 September 2026
- Source language. Keyword search uses the language you set on a source. Open the source, choose Language, and save. Until you do, keyword matches stay in English.
- Longer questions. A longer question now leads with the closest pages and drops later ones that are only loosely related, so the list stays short. See Search.
#22 September 2026
- Earlier chats. Signed-in visitors can now open earlier conversations from the clock in the official chat bubble. Star one to keep it past 90 days, or remove it. Pass a signed user, or turn on visitor identity in WordPress. See Chat and Install.
- Follow-up questions. New chat widgets can now offer a few related questions after an answer, from pages that the reply did not cover. For new widgets this is default behaviour, for existing widgets this needs to be enabled on under Reply. See Chat.
#20 September 2026
- Transcripts. Pushed HTML or Markdown can wrap captions in
<transcript>/<cue t>so a search hit can open pass along timestamps. Settype="video"ortype="audio"if the pill should show that icon. See Pages API. - Meaning match. Advanced search settings scoring slider is now called Meaning match. It drops loosely related meaning-matches, but keywords (like names, SKUs, and other exact words) still come through. Wordy questions keep meaning-based matches in the mix instead of falling back to only keyword hits. See Search.
#18 September 2026
- Longer questions. On longer search queries we now drop filler words so the results stay on topic. See Search.
#6 September 2026
#WordPress plugin 1.0.0
- WordPress.org. The plugin is now in the official WordPress Plugin directory. Install Datalumo from Plugins → Add New, or from the plugin page. Updates now come through WordPress like any other directory plugin. See WordPress.
#29 August 2026
- Page thumbnails. Pages can store an image URL. Turn Thumbnails on under Look (widgets) to show it on the right of each search result, or as a card under a chat answer for cited pages that have one. Note that we are not hosting the images, but are loading them externally from your source. A broken image URL shows a placeholder. See API push, Search, and Chat.
- Page actions. A chatbot can now propose an action on the page, and the visitor confirms it in the bubble. Add them from Reply → Plugin actions. See Chat actions.
#WordPress plugin 0.2.0
- Thumbnails. Featured images now sync with the page. WooCommerce products use the product image. Remove one and sync again to clear it. Turn Thumbnails on under Look. See WordPress.

- Page actions. WooCommerce handles add to cart, view cart, and checkout. WordPress also opens a page. Variable products can ask for options before anything is added. See WordPress.
- Connect. Press Connect with Datalumo in the plugin, sign in, and pick or create a knowledge base and widgets. Manual setup is still available. See WordPress.
- WooCommerce products. Synced products now include short description, categories, tags, visible attributes, and SKU, including variations, so visitors can ask about them in chat and search. See WordPress.
