## October 15

***Version 1.0.14***

**Enhancement**

- Improved security.

**Bug fixes**

- Fixed an issue where long-polling operations could fail when using cached clients that had been evicted after expiration.
- Fixed an issue when creating a **Serving Control** where the first typed character could be removed.

## September 21

***Version 1.0.13***

**Enhancements**

- Reduced Search Service log noise in Sandbox, Demo, and Production environments, which surfaces real warnings and errors faster.
- Improved security.

**Bug fixes**

- Fixed the issue where Search Service memory grew steadily under sustained workloads and never returned to baseline. Search now stays responsive during long-running indexing and query loads.
- Fixed the issue where Search Service leaked connections when a cached client was discarded while still starting. Connection use no longer climbs after credential rotation.
- Fixed the issue where saving a **Linguistics Controls** trigger with **Browse Categories** selected returned an internal server error. Commerce Search now disables **Browse Categories** for control types that do not support it.
- Fixed the issue where the Submit button stayed disabled in the **Create Serving Config** dialog, blocking new serving configs.
- Fixed the issue where a control failed to save after you entered **Page Categories** and then switched to **Search**.

## August 18

***Version 1.0.12***

**Enhancement**

- Restyled the Commerce Search v3 admin screens to match the current Optimizely design. The **Serving Configs** and **Serving Controls** pages now look consistent with the rest of the Admin Console. See *Configure Commerce Search v3 controls* for information.
- Improved Commerce Search v3 availability so search keeps serving when a supporting cache or secrets service is briefly unavailable.

**Bug fixes**

- Fixed the issue where deleting a product that no longer exists returned an error during Commerce Search v3 bulk indexing. Delete requests for missing products now return a 404 response without generating an error log.
- Fixed the issue where the **Start Date** and **End Date** fields under **Applicable Time Ranges** could not be edited. The fields now accept input when you create or edit a serving control.
- Fixed the issue where editing a serving control on the **Serving Controls** page opened an empty form. The form now loads the saved control values.
- Fixed the issue where editing a serving configuration on the **Serving Configs** page opened an empty form. The form now loads the saved configuration values.

## June 11

***Version 1.0.10***

**Enhancement**

- Improved security.

## May 14

***Version 1.0.9***

**Enhancements**

- Increased the Commerce Search v3 facet value limit from 50 to 300, so shoppers see the full range of filter options instead of truncated lists when attributes have many values. Static attribute filters now return up to 300 values; dynamically generated facets remain limited to 50. See Limitations of Commerce Search v3 for details.
- Improved security.

## March 26

***Version 1.0.8***

**Enhancements**

## March 5

***Version 1.0.7***

**Enhancement**
