Search Form Method
This is set to Regular POST. The other option Ajax Request. This setting controls how the domain search method is handled by the WHOIS form.
Security Check
This option is set to Human Check by default. The other method of checking is to use Captcha Image which requires the Really Simple Captcha plugin which can be downloaded from WordPress. The Human Check requires a mathematical calculation to be entered. This displays an image or calculation for accurate human input recognition. Security can be turned OFF altogether.
Background Color
This the background color used when “Captcha Image” is selected. The text box value is entered in hexadecimal and the background color of the captcha image by default is set to #FFFFFF which is White. This option is not shown on the dashboard when Security Check in set to another value. i.e. Captcha or OFF.
WHOIS Output
It can be set to “Full Information” or “Short: Available/Not Available only”. The first mentioned will output all details regarding the domain such as nameserver details, contact information, technical information, etc. while the short version simply shows whether or not the domain is available and doesn’t show any technical details.
Highlight Fields
This is set to “Yes” by default. This option highlights important fields in the whois output (eg. status, nameservers, etc)
Clean Output
This is set to “Yes” by default. This setting will “clean” the whois output of extraneous text when set to “Yes”. It is recommended that you turn this on.
Redirect When “Available”
This is set to “No” by default. When a domain is searched for and is available, the plugin can do a redirect to a specified URL. See Below.
Redirect URL
Thus is the URL to redirect to when a domain is available (not registered). You may use {domain} and {tld} in the URL where you want it to be replaced. This option is only displayed on the Dashboard when Redirect When “Available” is set to “Yes”.
Redirect Target
This is set to “Same Window” by default. The other value, “New Window” will open “Redirect URL” above in the same or a new window, depending on the setting. This option is only displayed on the Dashboard when Redirect When “Available” is set to “Yes”.
Turn on Cache
Thus is turned “Off” by default. This option turns the Cache On or Off. Caching turned on will speed up searches.
