## Beschrijving

With Smart Admin Search you can quickly find contents in the WordPress dashboard
without going up and down on the admin menu.

Just click on the top-right link or press a keyboard shortcut to open the search
box, then type what you are looking for. Easy!

Currently Smart Admin Search can find:

 * admin menu items
 * posts
 * pages
 * users
 * media
 * custom post types contents

**Configuration**

Settings for the plugin are available on the _Settings_ -> _Smart Admin Search_ 
page.

Some things you can do in the settings page:

 * configure the keyboard shortcut to open the search box.
 * disable search functions you don’t need.
 * change layout of the search link on the admin bar

**Permissions**

The search box can be used by users of any role. Each user will get results available
for the assigned role.

For pages and posts results, these actions will be triggered on result selection,
according to the user permissions:

 * edit item
 * view item
 * show a message if no access to the item is allowed

**Support**
