With Smart Admin Search you can quickly find contents in the WordPress dashboard without going up and down on the admin menu.

Just click on the top-right link or press a keyboard shortcut to open the search box, then type what you are looking for. Easy!

Currently Smart Admin Search can find:

  • admin menu items
  • posts
  • pages
  • users
  • media
  • custom post types contents

Configuration

Settings for the plugin are available on the Settings -> Smart Admin Search page.

Some things you can do in the settings page:

  • configure the keyboard shortcut to open the search box.
  • disable search functions you don’t need.
  • change layout of the search link on the admin bar

Permissions

The search box can be used by users of any role. Each user will get results available for the assigned role.

For pages and posts results, these actions will be triggered on result selection, according to the user permissions:

  • edit item
