 * It simply takes all text between brackets as if it were a shorcode. Completely
   useless to find unused shortcodes or to manage the existing ones.

 * Hi [@fidoboy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fidoboy/) ,
    every text between
   brackets could be a possible shortcode.
 * – If it is a real shortcode, coming from your plugins or themes, the plugin will
   find it and gives to you, with all available information about it
    – Otherwise
   it will report you as unused/orphan/non-existent shortcode
 * WordPress cannot distinguish if the word “[abc]” come from a generic text or 
   from a removed plugin functionality. And no plugin will ever do that.
 * I hope you will review your unfair vote and I would be very happy to support 
   you if you explain me your needs (next time post it in suppor thread).

   review a third time._

 * That is the user’s feedback. You replied. The End.
 * If the user (not you) makes this into a support topic then the review may be 
   reconsidered. But for now it is just feedback.

 * Sorry [@jdembowski](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jdembowski/) for double
   posting, I didn’t see that my message was already sent.
