Try it live in your browser — <a href="https://playground.wordpress.net/?blueprint-url=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/1fixdotio/media-search-enhanced/master/blueprint/playground.blueprint.json" rel="nofollow ugc">launch the WordPress Playground demo</a>. Boots a WordPress instance with this plugin active and a Media Library seeded with 8 attachments, so you can see the cross-field search in action immediately. Searching <code>mountain</code> returns 6 hits (matches in filename and alt text included) — core WordPress search would only find 3.
This plugin is made for:
<ul>
<li>Search through all fields in Media Library, including: ID, title, caption, alternative text and description.</li>
<li>Search Taxonomies for Media, include the name, slug and description fields.</li>
<li>Search media file name.</li>
<li>Multi-term search — Anywhere in the WordPress admin (the Media Library list view at <code>upload.php</code>, the “Add Media” modal, and other admin screens), use commas to search for multiple items at once (e.g. <code>image-a.jpg, photo-2.jpg</code>). Matches attachments containing any of the terms. Limited to 10 terms per search. Frontend searches still treat commas as literal characters, as a query-amplification guard for public pages.</li>
<li>Use shortcode <code>[mse-search-form]</code> to insert a media search form in posts and template files. It will search for media by all fields mentioned above.</li>
</ul>
