 * As was mentioned by another user 5 years ago, this plugin breaks the admin search
   feature on Posts, Pages, & other post types. It makes the search feature always
   search the ‘Trash’ post status.
 * It does this because it embeds another <input> field with the name ‘post_status’
   within an existing <form> which also contains a ‘post_status’ field.
 * I’ve just disabled this plugin on my client’s site, but really if it is unmaintained
   and broken it should be removed from the WordPress directory.
