Vortex Solution<\/strong>, the makers of Findstr<\/strong> and Byscuit<\/strong>, is one of our\u00a0Northern Lights Sponsors<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0this year. We\u2019re incredibly grateful for their support again this year!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Rose, Guy, and the whole team at Vortex:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re proud to support the Canadian and global WordPress community from right here in Montreal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year, we\u2019re introducing two powerful, Canadian-built tools that make the web faster, smarter, and more transparent: Findstr<\/strong> and Byscuit<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Findstr<\/strong> is a lightning-fast WordPress search plugin that delivers real-time results in under 100 milliseconds. Designed for simplicity and performance, it transforms the way visitors explore your website. Whether you manage a blog, a store, or a corporate site, Findstr ensures every search feels instant and intuitive. Built on Meilisearch\u2019s open API, it provides a lightweight, customizable experience with advanced features like autocomplete, search suggestions, and automatic indexing \u2014 all accessible through a clean and user-friendly interface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each update brings new improvements focused on accessibility, speed, and stability. By isolating search results from the WordPress database, Findstr achieves greater reliability and responsiveness while keeping your data secure on servers hosted in Canada. Compatible with WordPress 6.2+, PHP 7.4+, and major tools like WooCommerce, Gutenberg, and WPML, it\u2019s a flexible solution built for modern websites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Byscuit<\/strong>, on the other hand, simplifies cookie consent management with a privacy-first approach. Fully compliant with Loi 25, GDPR, and other major privacy regulations, it allows website owners to manage user consent with ease and transparency. The platform is bilingual, fully customizable, and supported by a local Canadian team that understands the regulatory landscape. It also integrates with popular analytics tools like Google Analytics and Adobe Analytics, ensuring businesses can remain data-driven while staying compliant. With data stored entirely in Canada, Byscuit gives website owners peace of mind \u2014 offering compliance without compromise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Together, Findstr<\/strong> and Byscuit<\/strong> reflect the spirit of innovation driving the Canadian tech community. Both are designed to help businesses, agencies, and developers build websites that are faster, smarter, and more ethical. Whether it\u2019s improving how users search or ensuring privacy is respected, these two tools share one mission: creating better digital experiences, proudly made in Canada. \ud83c\udde8\ud83c\udde6<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
