The big feature for version 2.0 is Shortcode processing which has been implemented in such a way that you can blanket-enable it for post content and all Custom Fields with a single filter, or you can conditionally process your Shortcodes on a per-post basis. The Hooks documentation will be updated to outline what that looks like soon.

There are a few more filters which give even more fine-grained control over indexing, searching, and maintenance including the ability to programmatically tell SearchWP to Nuke on Delete. PLEASE NOTE that the filter value takes precedence over the setting as it’s designed for admins.

A number of improvements have been made to the experience of using SearchWP, including the ability to restore dismissed conflict notices if you mistakingly hid them, some UI updates, better exposure of Search Statistics, and other small enhancements.

There are also bugfixes. PHP Warning cleanup, fixed improper handling of using a weight of -1 to forcefully exclude matches for that content type, and other small bugfixes.

Version 2.0 is a recommended update for all active license holders. Enjoy!
