A must-have plugin to handle your Admin menu!

A shame that the author has abandoned this very useful plugin, and only one of it’s kind. It’s almost exactly whay I was looking for, with the exception of it not also searching for items within the page settings themselves. For example, in Visual Studio or Directory Opus, UltraEdit options windows, there’s a search field, and as you search live searches ALL settings, and then hides irrelevant items, AND highlights the exact search term on any matching items, including things such as check boxes, text fields, options, etc. This plugin essentially does all of that already, minus the items within the settings tabs, or the highlighting of matching terms. I can live w/out the highlighting, but the searching within the settings options themselves is pretty crucial. If that was added, I would absolutely, unequivocally consider this a must have plugin for all WP installations, and think it would deserve being added to Core.

Admin Menu Quick Search is what this plugin might just as well have been called: for that’s what it is and does – does amazingly well, in fact. I nearly missed Admin Menus Accessibility due to its title, for that’s not what I was after. So glad I didn’t. I have been struggling with the WordPress Admin Menu(s) for as long as I remember (using WP). There have always been way too many entries in mine, and WP as yet has not come up with a decent way to handle those, like e.g. a multi-column fly-out. Luckily, at least for part of the Tool Bar this is (still) available via My Sites Menu Fixer. With Admin Menus Accessibility installed, I can now kind of forget about my crammed Admin Menu. I can now simply type in the first few characters of what I’m looking for, and … magic happens! You really have to see this for yourself. — You might be amazed, too!
