Admin 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

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 47% 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. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

Reviewers call it a fast, genuinely useful admin search across content types, with the few lower ratings asking for things it doesn't do yet like SKU or URL lookup.

   Simple, effective and even searches the content in my Knowledge Base plug-in. Just what was needed. Thank you

   This is a great timesaving tool. I was thinking of building something similar on the front end. I know this can work on the front end but I would want a different set of rules (post types etc) exposed to the front end. This would be a welcomed feature! Thank you for sharing this!

   Just got this plugin and it’s already made my day better. I’m used to these quick search panels in other software and something like this should just be merged into WP core because navigating through the dashboard is painful without it

   It works perfectly a lot – it searches everywhere in the administration.
