List Item Filter vs Widget Search Filter

This plugin provides a shortcode that generates a text input field, which filters out list items that do not contain that field’s text. Any sibling elements of the shortcode, or children of those siblings, that are “li” elements will be searched by the text field it generates. As you type, each word in the text field is matched against the readable text of the list items (and optionally their title attributes). Any list items which don’t match that text are hidden. Example: [list_item_filter placeholder="Filter this list by terms" searchtitles="true"] Shortcode parameters: label (string): Define the search field’s label text. Default value: Filter list items: showlabel (boolean): Determine whether or not the search field’s label is visible. Default value: true placeholder (string): Define the search field’s placeholder text. Default value: Search noresultsmsg (string): Define the message shown when no list items are found. Provide an empty string to disable this feature. Default value: no results searchtitles (bool): Expand text matching to include the first title attribute of the list item’s HTML. Default value: false formclass (string): Define one or more class names for the form. Default value: search-form inputclass (string): Define one or more class names for the search field. Default value: search-field If you like this plugin or have a request, let me know!

Widget Search Filter makes it super easy to find the widget you are looking for by adding a live filter search box to your widgets page. The search box can be used to filter all of your available widgets – simply begin typing the name of the widget you’re looking for, and Widget Search Filter will magically show only matching widgets – all in real time. This can be extremely helpful for sites with lots of widgets, which would normally require excessive scrolling and dragging.
