## Description

FilterOrbit adds a powerful, instant-filtering sidebar to your WooCommerce store.
All filtering runs client-side on a pre-cached product array — no page reloads, 
no AJAX round-trips.

**Features**

 * Zero-request filtering — filters run entirely in the browser on a cached product
   array.
 * AI natural language search — type plain-English queries to filter products.
 * Visual discovery — image swatch grid for colour and style filtering.
 * Predictive personalisation — quick picks based on browsing session.
 * Range histogram — price slider with distribution bars.
 * Drag-and-drop filter designer — build your sidebar layout in the admin.
 * Per-filter colour settings — customise pill colours, slider colours, and card
   tints independently.
 * WooCommerce attribute support — automatically discovers global and custom product
   variation attributes.
 * Multi-category / multi-tag — products with multiple categories and tags match
   all their values.

### External services

FilterOrbit includes an optional AI natural-language search feature. When enabled
and configured, the plugin sends product search queries and product data to third-
party AI services. This feature is **opt-in** — it only activates if you enter an
API key in the AI Settings screen. No data is sent without your explicit configuration.

**OpenAI**

 * What it is: A third-party AI platform (https://openai.com).
 * What it is used for: Processing natural-language search queries and optionally
   generating product embeddings for semantic search (RAG).
 * What data is sent: The user’s search query text, and (when indexing is enabled)
   product titles, descriptions, categories, tags, and attributes.
 * When data is sent: Only when a visitor submits a natural-language search and 
   AI is enabled and configured with a valid API key.
 * Terms of service: https://openai.com/policies/terms-of-use
 * Privacy policy: https://openai.com/policies/privacy-policy

**Google Gemini**

 * What it is: A third-party AI platform provided by Google (https://ai.google.dev).
 * What it is used for: An alternative AI provider for natural-language query processing
   and product embeddings.
 * What data is sent: The user’s search query text, and (when indexing is enabled)
   product titles, descriptions, categories, tags, and attributes.
 * When data is sent: Only when a visitor submits a natural-language search and 
   AI is enabled and configured with a valid Gemini API key.
 * Terms of service: https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/terms
 * Privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy

If you do not enter any API keys in the AI Settings screen, no data is ever transmitted
to these services.

## Installation

 1. Upload the `filterorbit-product-filters` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory.

## FAQ

### Does it require WooCommerce?

Yes. FilterOrbit requires WooCommerce to be active.

### Does filtering require AJAX calls?

No. All product data is pre-loaded on page render and filtering runs entirely in
the browser with zero network requests.

### Can I customise the colours?

Yes. Each filter block has independent colour settings in the Block Settings panel
of the filter designer. Slider filters, pill/category filters, and layout blocks
each expose the colour controls that are relevant to them.
