Manage them at https://packagento.com/projects/. - Activate the new licence on the project you'll deploy this package to. Activation is what generates the Composer credentials scoped to that project. 4. **Add the project credentials to your Magento codebase.** Grab the project's public + private key from https://packagento.com/projects/ (open the project, then its Credentials tab), and add them to `auth.json`: ```json { "http-basic": { "packagento.com": { "username": "ppk_live_...", "password": "psk_live_..." } } } ``` Add the Packagento Composer repository to `composer.json`: ```json { "repositories": [ { "type": "composer", "url": "https://packagento.com" } ] } ``` 5. **Install and apply.** ```bash composer require instantsearch/instantsearchplus:* bin/magento setup:upgrade bin/magento setup:di:compile bin/magento cache:flush ``` ## What it does Search That Boosts Conversion: Fastest Semantic Search, Search Filters, and Search Autocomplete ## README Magento AI‑Based Search & Merchandising To Maximize Conversion Rate.

Full history on https://packagento.com/instantsearch/instantsearchplus.)_ ## Recent Versions | Version | Released | |---|---| | 4.91.51 | 2026-05-28 | | 4.91.50 | 2026-05-04 | | 4.91.45 | 2026-04-14 | | 4.91.44 | 2025-10-14 | | 4.91.43 | 2025-08-03 | | 4.91.42 | 2025-07-27 | | 4.91.41 | 2025-07-27 | | 4.91.40 | 2025-07-27 | | 4.91.35 | 2025-03-19 | | 4.91.34 | 2025-03-16 | Showing 10 of 146 versions. Full release history on https://packagento.com/instantsearch/instantsearchplus. ## Dependencies ### Require | Package | Constraint | |---|---| | laminas/laminas-filter | >=2.12.0 | | laminas/laminas-http | >=2.14.3 | | php | >=7.1 | ### Require (dev) | Package | Constraint | |---|---| | magento-ecg/coding-standard | ^2.0 | ## Quality Latest release (4.91.51) fails the Packagento QA pipeline. Verdicts below are per-cell (Magento line × PHP version) for the matrixed tools, and run-once for the static / security tiers. ### Compatibility Each Magento line is installed on its supported PHP versions, then the module is built (DI compile + static-content deploy). Cells show passed / failed / untested; staircase gaps render as `–`. | Magento | PHP 8.2 | PHP 8.3 | PHP 8.4 | PHP 8.5 | |---|---|---|---|---| | 2.4.7 | Pass | Pass | – | – | | 2.4.8 | – | Pass | Pass | – | | 2.4.9 | – | – | Pass | Pass | ### Code Quality Advisory checks against the module's source. Never affect the Compatibility verdict — a phpcs finding can't make a module incompatible. #### Static Analysis Coding standards (phpcs), mess detection (phpmd), copy-pasted code (cpd), PHP cross-version compatibility, composer.json validity. Each runs once for the whole module. | Tool | Status | Findings | Summary | |---|---|---|---| | PHPCS | Warning | 707 | 707 warnings (ruleset: Magento2) — 335 auto-fixable with phpcbf | | PHPMD | Warning | 103 | 103 rule violations (UnusedLocalVariable:20, UnusedFormalParameter:15, MissingImport:14, CyclomaticComplexity:14, NPathComplexity:10) | | Cpd | Pass | 0 | | | Composer validate | Info | 3 | valid; 3 advisory notes (composer validate --strict) | #### PHPStan Type-checks the module against a real Magento install. Re-runs per Magento + PHP version because resolvable symbols differ between releases. | Magento | PHP 8.2 | PHP 8.3 | PHP 8.4 | PHP 8.5 | |---|---|---|---|---| | 2.4.7 | 149 | 149 | – | – | | 2.4.8 | – | 149 | 149 | – | | 2.4.9 | – | – | 149 | 149 | ### Tests Unit and integration suites run per Magento + PHP cell. Test failures speak to the module's behaviour, not its compatibility with a line, so they're reported here separately. #### Unit Tests | Magento | PHP 8.2 | PHP 8.3 | PHP 8.4 | PHP 8.5 | |---|---|---|---|---| | 2.4.7 | N/A | N/A | – | – | | 2.4.8 | – | N/A | N/A | – | | 2.4.9 | – | – | N/A | N/A | #### Integration Tests | Magento | PHP 8.2 | PHP 8.3 | PHP 8.4 | PHP 8.5 | |---|---|---|---|---| | 2.4.7 | N/A | N/A | – | – | | 2.4.8 | – | N/A | N/A | – | | 2.4.9 | – | – | N/A | N/A | ### Security Dependency-advisory audit (composer audit) plus a source malware scan. A malware detection fails the version outright. | Tool | Status | Findings | Summary | |---|---|---|---| | Composer audit | Pass | 0 | | | Malware scan | Pass | 0 | | ## Licence and pricing Free.
