Description

This plugin injects a small search box at the top of taxonomy metaboxes (the checkbox lists) on the post edit screen. It only appears for taxonomies that have more than 5 terms to avoid clutter.

Search queries are performed via AJAX and the checklist is filtered client-side for a quick, responsive experience.

  1. Upload the taxonomy-admin-search folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress.
  3. Edit a post that uses a taxonomy with more than 5 terms and the search box will appear above the taxonomy metabox.
  1. Search box above taxonomy metabox.

    Search box above taxonomy metabox.

Will this plugin change term assignments?

No. It only shows/hides existing checklist items. It doesn’t add, remove, or modify terms.

Can I change the threshold of 5 terms?

Not from the UI yet. You can change the threshold by editing the plugin source where intval($count) > 5 is used.
