Overview
Ever wanted to do a quick search for a post with a specific ID? The built-in search doesn’t allow that. But now you can.
Features:
- Works for all kinds of posts (regular posts, pages, custom post types and media).
- No configuration needed.
- Doesn’t add javascript or css; it has virtually no impact whatsoever.
- No front-end functionality, just back-end.
- Doesn’t add any options or tables to the database.
Just a nice, clean and easy, seamless extension of the built-in search.
How to use it:
Simply enter an ID into the search field. If a post with that ID is found, it will show up in the search result.
You can even enter a list of IDs if you want to search multiple IDs. For instance “100, 200, 300”.
