Why you need Quick Search

Getting to a setting means remembering which menu a plugin hid it under. On a busy admin that’s a lot of clicking around.

What Quick Search does

  • Search everything

    Content, admin screens and actions like Add New Post or Manage Plugins.

  • Forgiving matches

    Fuzzy matching finds results even with typos.

  • Plugin integrations

    Results from supported plugins, such as their forms.

Where Quick Search helps

  • An agency team in a brick-walled studio reviewing WP Extended settings on a wall screen

    Busy admins

    Get anywhere in a couple of keystrokes.

For developers

Quick Search has 3 hooks for changing its behaviour per project, without editing the plugin.

All Quick Search hooks
filter functions.php or a Code Snippet
add_filter( 'wpextended/max_search_results', function ( $value ) {
    // Return the value you want to use
    return $value;
} );
  • max_search_results
  • search_results
  • search_results/{$key}
