Admin Menu Search

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 82% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

Reviewers love how light and zero-config it is, and they say the search finds submenu items reliably, with a couple asking it to handle top-level menus, dividers and submenu trimming too.

   I wish more plugin authors had herchen’s keep-it-simple sense of software aesthetics. No notice boxes, zero config, does one thing and does it well. Thanks!

   Doesn’t handle top admin menu or trimming submenus. It also doesn’t remove dividers.
