Admin Sidebar Search

1.1.1 / WordPress 5.8+

Admin Sidebar Search adds a compact **Search menu** control to the top of the WordPress admin sidebar. * Click the control to expand a dark, sidebar-matched search field * Type to live-filter top-level menus and submenus * Press **Escape** to clear the filter and restore the full menu * Click a filtered item to navigate (the full menu returns on the next page load) * Recent destinations are stored in the browser and shown as suggestions when the field is empty * Browser autocomplete is disabled on the search input * **Enter** selects a highlighted (or first) recent suggestion; it does nothing while filtering menus
