# Uninstallation & Reset

## Resetting options to default

Under the *Manintenance* options submenu, the plugin can be reset to the default options via clicking the *Reset all options to defaults* button.

The reset means:

* All plugin options **will** reset to defaults (caching, compatibility, index table and statistics options)
* The search instance options **will not** be changed
* The database tables, contents and the files **will not** be deleted either.

By disabling and removing the plugin via the plugin manager, all the plugin options, including the search instances, will remain in the database.

The wipe means:

* All plugin options **will be deleted**
* The search instances **will be deleted**

* The plugin **will deactivate** and redirect to the plugin manager screen after, where you can delete it or re-install it again.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://documentation.ajaxsearchpro.com/installation-instructions/uninstallation-and-reset.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
