Argot

Search that understands how your customers talk.

“Argot” means the language of a trade. Your customer types “jackhammer”, “weed eater” or “shop vac”, misspells a word or searches by code, and Argot shows the right product, with photo, price and stock, from the first few letters.

    Questions

    Will it work with my theme?

    Yes. Argot attaches itself to the standard search fields (WordPress, WooCommerce, the search block) and you can add your own selector in the settings. For themes with their own live search, Argot turns the theme’s off so you don’t get two lists; Merto is the first theme handled this way and the list is growing.

    How many products can it handle?

    There is no product limit. It runs in production on a ~15,300-product catalogue.

    Does it send data off my site?

    The free version makes no external calls. Argot Pro checks its licence and updates with kalki.work and sends only the key, a site identifier and the installed version.

    What happens when the licence expires?

    Pro features stay and keep working. You stop getting updates and support until you renew.

    Can I move the licence to another site?

    Yes. Deactivate it on the old site’s Argot page and activate it on the new one. Your plan sets how many sites can be active at the same time.

    Which languages does it support?

    The interface is in English and Romanian. Search understands word forms in Romanian and English; in other languages it searches without singular/plural rules.

    What do I need?

    A WordPress shop with WooCommerce. The minimum versions are listed on the plugin’s WordPress.org page.

    Can I get a refund?

    The rules are on the Refunds and withdrawal page.
