Do I need to build a search index before using the plugin?

Yes, you should build the search index after installing the plugin or if you notice any gaps in your search results. There's a dedicated "Index" tab in the plugin's interface where you can easily rebuild the search index.

Can I search for specific entry IDs?

Yes, the plugin allows you to search for specific entry IDs as well as any text content within form entries and notes.

How does this plugin compare to GravityView's Advanced Filter extension?

While GravityView's Advanced Filter is excellent for creating complex filters and views of your form data, Global Search for Gravity Forms is specifically designed for quick, admin-side searches across all forms and entries. It's more suited for administrative tasks and quick lookups.

Is the search functionality available on the front-end of my website?

No, this plugin is designed for admin use only. It adds a new "Global Search" submenu item under the Gravity Forms menu in your WordPress admin area.

Does the plugin slow down my website?

The plugin creates a separate database table for the search index, which means it doesn't slow down your main website operations. The indexing process itself is done in batches to minimize server load.

Can I search for data in encrypted fields?

No, encrypted fields are not searchable as their content is securely hashed. This is a security feature to protect sensitive information.

How does this plugin handle large numbers of forms and entries?

The plugin uses batch processing and a custom database table to handle large volumes of data efficiently. However, for extremely large datasets, you may need to increase your server's memory limit or adjust the batch size in the settings.

Is this plugin compatible with multisite installations?

Yes, the plugin has been tested and verified to work in multisite installations. Each site would have its own search index.

How does this plugin handle updates to entries or forms?

The plugin listens for entry updates and automatically updates the search index when changes occur
