Extend search function also to the admin menu
-
Hi, I hope the day is going well.
Today I’m writing to request a feature request or just to give a feedback that you can choose if implement or not.I have many plugin in my WordPress install, I try to have less possible but often when you need a function you need add them with a plugin. The left admin menu so has many option, row, plugin names.
Often I try to search a plugin setting, a left navigation menu that I struggle to find. Recently you introduced the nice search future to adminify that comes from the search lens in the upper right.
Suppose in my WordPress I have your plugin, Boxzilla plugin, a dark mode plugin and other plugins.
These installed plugins add a link to your settings in the left-hand menu of WordPress.Imagine that you want to open the settings of the Dark mode or boxzilla plugin. If in the search I type the name of these plugins I find the result but it only tells me that the plugin is there but is found in the installed plugin list. If I click on the result I am brought to the plugins page.
It would be useful if the search also looked for the relevant item in the left menu so that it can click on Dark mode and open the plugin settings. Same thing for Boxzilla.
I don’t know if I’m giving the idea. I often don’t find, among the many items in the left-hand menu, the plugin settings entry.
Currently the search in adminify seems to be looking for match only in the installed plugins and if the plugin is found and you click on the result you are taken to the page that lists all the plugins.
I, on the other hand, if I look for the name of a plugin I do not try to get to the plugin list page but to its settings.
Adminify also adds an adminify menu to the left menu.
If in the search I write adminify the results show me that there is the plugin and if I click I get taken to the pages that list all the plugins. This can be useful but would be even more useful if the system also showed the result of the item in the left menu that allows access to the adminify settings. Essentially, instead of “going crazy” to search for the page where you can customise adminify in the left menu, it would be convenient to find it through the search.
