Beschrijving

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
