About CodeFaeries QuickFind
From the official readme · v1.0.6Description
CodeFaeries QuickFind adds a search field to the admin bar, opened with Ctrl+K (Cmd+K on Mac). One query searches:
- Posts, pages and custom post types (drafts and scheduled posts included) you are allowed to edit
- Admin menu and submenu pages, filtered by your capabilities
- Installed plugins, jumping straight to each plugin’s settings page
- Core settings screens (administrators only)
It works alongside WordPress’s native Command Palette rather than replacing it: the palette runs commands and navigates; QuickFind searches your actual content, plugins and settings. When the native palette is present, QuickFind automatically uses Ctrl+Shift+K so the two never collide.
Results are grouped, keyboard-navigable (arrows + Enter) and respect user capabilities everywhere.
Settings
Settings → QuickFind:
- Enable or disable each search source
- Restrict which post types are searched
- Maximum results per group, minimum query length, typing delay
- Choose the keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+K, Ctrl+Shift+K, Alt+K, Ctrl+/ or disabled)
Installation
- Install and activate the plugin.
- Click the search field in the admin bar, or use the keyboard shortcut: Ctrl+K (Cmd+K on Mac). When WordPress’s native Command Palette is present, QuickFind leaves Ctrl+K to it and uses Ctrl+Shift+K instead — the placeholder text in the search field always shows the shortcut that is actually active.
- Change the shortcut any time in Settings → QuickFind.
Changelog
Marks inactive plugins in the results, lists same-name plugins separately, and makes the Ctrl+/ shortcut work on AZERTY keyboards.
1.0.6
- Improved: inactive plugins are marked “(inactive)” in the search results.
- Fixed: two installed plugins with the same name each get their own result.
- Fixed: the Ctrl+/ shortcut works on keyboards where “/” needs Shift, such as AZERTY.
1.0.5
- Fixed: a plugin found in the search now opens its own settings page. Several plugins of the same family (all WooCommerce or all CodeFaeries extensions) used to open the same, sometimes forbidden, page.
- Fixed: searches of several words find admin pages, such as “settings general” or “woocommerce settings”.
- Fixed: scheduled posts are found.
- Fixed: a space typed at the end of a search no longer hides admin pages and plugins.
- Fixed: the “Go further with Pro” button and the plugin site link opened a missing page.
- Improved: admin pages are listed before content, so a search like “perma” opens Permalinks first.
- Improved: each settings page appears once, and the General settings page is named General.
1.0.4
- Improved: version aligned with QuickFind Pro 1.0.4. No change in features or behavior.
1.0.3
- Compatibility: tested with WordPress 7.1.
1.0.2
- Improved: version aligned with QuickFind Pro 1.0.2. No change in features or behavior.
1.0.1
- Improved: version aligned with QuickFind Pro 1.0.1. No change in features or behavior.
