The ONE thing the admin is missing : a search field
-
Hello !
First things first, HUGE CONGRATULATIONS for the 3.8 update. I’ve become a grumpy Sabin since late 2012, not liking very much the changes. Well, WP38 blew my grim mood away, it is beautiful, lively (I’ll confess, I adopted the pinkish admin color layout as a lost bet, but now I love it, the colors are lovely – and yet I’m a man -) and everything is well contrasted, easy to notice without hurting the eye, even the editor works smoothly again.
Now, my feature request : the ONE thing missing from the admin is a lively search field displaying admin pages matching the keywords we type.
By “lively”, I meant : “find as you type”.As things are, when we install a plugin, for instance, we don’t really know IF that plugin will add a settings page, and WHERE this settings page will be placed. In admin > plugin-settings most often, but then again it can be given its own admin menu, or go in Dashboard > plugin-settings.
Or we may be unable to remember where, in the options, we can customize this, or that…A live admin search field would definitely help. Think of it as the search field that appeared everywhere in the Explorer in windows 7 and 8, it allows to search in storage directories, true, but also in the control panel…
See the idea ? 🙂
