## Description

Neutrope Admin Post Lookup makes the regular WordPress admin search box smarter 
without changing how it looks or works.

When you search a post list in wp-admin, the standard search already looks through
titles, content, and excerpts. Neutrope Admin Post Lookup keeps all of that and 
quietly adds three more ways to find what you need:

 * **Find posts by ID.** Type `123` to also match the post with ID 123.
 * **Find posts by slug.** Type `about-us` to also match posts whose slug contains
   that text.
 * **Paste a URL to find the matching post.** Paste a front-end URL or an admin 
   edit URL and the plugin extracts the ID or trailing slug for you.

It works on the post list, the page list, and any public custom post type list, 
using the standard search box you already use every day.

#### How it works

 * Use the regular admin search box. There is nothing new to learn.
 * Find posts by ID, including multiple IDs at once (`123,456` or `123 456`).
 * Find posts by slug, with partial matching.
 * Paste a URL to find the matching post. ID-style parameters (`?p=123`, `?page_id
   =123`, `post.php?post=123`) are detected, and otherwise the trailing slug from
   the URL path is used.
 * Works with posts, pages, and public custom post types.
 * Only the post type list you are currently viewing is searched. It never searches
   across post types.

#### What it does not do

 * No settings screen.
 * No external services or API calls.
 * No tracking or telemetry.
 * No advertising or upsells.
 * No custom CSS or JavaScript.
 * No database tables or options are created.
 * The front-end search is never affected.

## Installation

 1. Upload the `neutrope-admin-post-lookup` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory,
    or install the plugin through the Plugins screen in WordPress.
 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** screen.
 3. Open any post, page, or public custom post type list in wp-admin and use the standard
    search box. You can now search by ID, slug, or pasted URL.

There are no settings to configure.

## FAQ

### Does this change the front-end search?

No. The plugin only runs in the admin area, and only on the post list screen (edit.
php). The front-end search is never touched.

### Does it search across all post types at once?

No. It only searches the post type list you are currently viewing. The post list
searches posts, the page list searches pages, and a custom post type list searches
that custom post type.

### Does the normal title and content search still work?

Yes. The standard title, content, and excerpt search is kept exactly as it is. ID
and slug matches are added on top of it, never in place of it.

### Can I search for several IDs at once?

Yes. Separate them with commas or spaces, for example `123,456` or `123 456`.

### Does it create any settings, options, or database tables?

No. The plugin stores nothing and adds no settings screen.
