WP Admin Category Search is a free WordPress plugin designed to streamline the management of categories within the WordPress admin interface. It provides a simple yet effective solution for users who need to handle a large number of categories, particularly beneficial for online shops. The plugin allows users to filter category lists directly within their current view, enhancing navigability and efficiency.

The plugin features an easy-to-use settings page for managing the location of the search fields. Built with straightforward JavaScript, it requires jQuery to function properly. Additionally, it trims any leading or trailing spaces, ensuring clean data entry. WP Admin Category Search is compatible with the classic WordPress editor, although it is worth noting that the new editor includes similar functionality.
