A faster, smarter search experience for the WordPress admin. This add-on replaces the default admin search with WP Loupe-powered typo-tolerant, relevance-ranked results.

• Dashboard search widget — search your site content right from the dashboard.
• Admin bar launcher — click "Loupe Search" in the admin bar to open a modal search overlay.
• Modal search with scope switcher — search across content, users, plugins, and comments from a single modal.
• Command Palette results — when the WordPress Command Palette is available, Loupe results appear dynamically as you type.
• Native list table search — the standard search boxes on Posts, Pages, custom post types, Media, Users, and Comments screens are automatically enhanced with Loupe results.
• Typo-tolerant & ranked — powered by the Loupe search engine, results are fuzzy-matched and ranked by relevance.
• All admin post statuses — indexes publish, draft, pending, private, and future posts (the main WP Loupe plugin only indexes published content).
• Separate admin indexes — maintains its own search indexes independent of the main WP Loupe plugin, stored as lightweight SQLite databases.
• Automatic index management — indexes are built on first admin load and kept in sync incrementally when content changes.
• Extensible schema — add custom meta fields to the search index via the wp_loupe_admin_schema filter.
• Auto-updates — receives updates directly from GitHub releases.

• WordPress 6.8+
• PHP 8.3+
