## Description

Stop scrolling through long post and page lists to find what you need.

**Find Posts by Title** adds search functionality under both the **Posts** and **
Pages** menus. Just type a keyword from the title and instantly see matching content
displayed in a native WordPress table format with full row actions.

Perfect for sites with hundreds of posts or pages where quick access matters.

**Key Features:**
 * Search posts and pages by title * Native WordPress admin table
styling * Complete row actions (Edit, Gutenberg, Classic Editor, Trash, View) * 
Alternating row colors for easy scanning * Hover actions menu just like standard
WordPress tables * No clutter, no bloat — just fast content finding

**Locations:**
 * **Posts  Find by Title** – Search blog posts * **Pages  Find by
Title** – Search pages

## Installation

 1. Upload the plugin to `/wp-content/plugins/` or install it via the Plugins screen
    in WordPress.
 2. Activate the plugin.
 3. Go to **Posts  Find by Title** or **Pages  Find by Title** in your admin menu.

## FAQ

### Does this work with custom post types?

Not yet — currently it searches standard posts and pages only. Support for custom
post types may be added in the future.

### Do I need the Classic Editor plugin installed?

No — if it’s installed, you’ll see a “Classic Editor” action in the row menu. If
not, you’ll just see the standard edit and Gutenberg options.

### Why does it look exactly like WordPress tables?

We use WordPress’s native table styling and row actions to provide a familiar, consistent
experience that matches the rest of your admin interface.

Running a blog with 500+ posts, finding old content to update was a nightmare. This
plugin adds a clean search box right in the admin that actually searches post titles
instantly. No bloat, no complex settings – just type and find. The row actions menu
is perfect – edit, view, trash – everything I need right there. Exactly what WordPress
should have built in.
