Overview

This plugin lets you enter a shortcode tag so that you can check to see if the shortcode is in use in a page or post on your site, and will display a list of pages or posts where the shortcode is in use.

Often times WordPress users will install a plugin to display some feature on their site. Usually these plugins will come with a [shortcode] to make displaying the content a little easier. Sometimes the plugin and shortcode works fine, but after a while you may find another plugin that works better, or simply decide that you don’t want the feature any more.

If you were to deactivate the original plugin without removing its shortcodes from your site’s pages or posts, you will end up with a lot of shortcode tags left over, which do nothing except for look funny on your site.
