AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
Search by ID is a category-leading WordPress app with a limited review volume. It is listed in the Search category on WordPress Plugin Directory, which AppRanks treats as the canonical taxonomy node for ranking and competitor comparison. 18 reviews put it in the early-traction tier — useful for early-stage stores willing to be on the leading edge. Early-traction review counts are sensitive to single launch periods or feature events, so a 30-day re-check before bigger commitments often resolves whether the trend is sustained. Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.

How Search by ID works
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.
