Description
Rezerla Post List Field Search adds a Search in dropdown next to the search box on post list screens (edit.php). Search by title, content, slug, custom fields, post meta, or taxonomy — individually or across all configured fields at once.
- Admin-only — no impact on front-end search
- Per post type configuration
- Core fields, post meta, and taxonomies
- Optional list table columns (Show in table checkbox)
- Temporary column and highlight when searching by a single field
- Field discovery for meta keys and taxonomies
- Lightweight — no frameworks or subscriptions
- Default configuration for WP Store Locator (
wpsl_stores) - No data collection or external API calls
- Translations: English (default), Polish, German, French, Spanish, Italian
Usage example
On a WP Store Locator store list (edit.php?post_type=wpsl_stores):
- Enter “Katowice” in the search box.
- Select City in the dropdown.
- Click the search button.
URL: edit.php?post_type=wpsl_stores&s=Katowice&rezerla_plfs_field=city
List table columns
Check Show in table in field settings to display meta or taxonomy values on the list.
When searching by a single field, that column appears temporarily and is highlighted even without the checkbox.
