  • This plugin really helped

    This plugin really helped me save a lot of time on my client's site, which had more than 10,000 posts. Searching by slug makes finding content fast and stress-free compared to the default WordPress search. The slug and ID columns are super helpful and don’t slow down the admin at all. Simple, lightweight, and a must-have for managing large WordPress sites.
