<p>Source code repository: https://github.com/holyprof1/holyprof-source-locator</p>
<p>Features include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Read-only search across the plugin itself, the active theme, the parent theme when a child theme is active, and active plugins</li>
<li>Focus on PHP source, <code>functions.php</code>, templates, hooks, CSS, and JS</li>
<li>Grouped results with source names, file paths, line numbers, and highlighted snippets</li>
<li>AJAX-powered search to keep the admin page responsive</li>
<li>Limited secondary references for related admin pages, menus, and settings when WordPress exposes them</li>
<li>Safety limits for large files, skipped dependency folders, unreadable files, and oversized result sets</li>
</ul>
<p>Holyprof Source Locator does not edit files or settings. It is designed as an admin-only inspection tool.</p>
<h3>Limitations</h3>
<p>Holyprof Source Locator is intentionally limited in v1.</p>
<ul>
<li>It is focused on source-code locations in active themes and plugins.</li>
<li>It does not search posts or pages.</li>
<li>It does not guarantee every visible text string will be found.</li>
<li>It does not guarantee coverage of every JavaScript-rendered admin screen.</li>
<li>It does not search database content outside what WordPress exposes through registered admin menus and settings metadata.</li>
<li>Admin-page, menu, and settings references are secondary clues and depend on what WordPress or plugins expose to PHP at search time.</li>
</ul>

<p>Admin Code Search is a lightweight developer tool that lets you search code directly from the WordPress admin area — no FTP or terminal access required.</p>
<p>It scans active plugins, themes, and MU plugins line-by-line and shows matching results with file paths and line numbers.</p>

</ul>
<h3>Features</h3>

<li>Custom file extensions (e.g. php, js, css)</li>
<li>Line-by-line scanning for better performance on large codebases</li>
<li>Displays file path, line number, and highlighted match</li>
<li>Shows result count summary</li>
<li>Limits broad searches to the first 500 matches</li>
<li>Includes a Clear button to reset the search form and results</li>
<li>Excludes common heavy directories (vendor, node_modules, uploads, cache, .git, .svn)</li>
<li>Admin-only access for security</li>
</ul>
<h3>Typical Use Cases</h3>

<h3>Notes</h3>
<p>Large searches may take longer on sites with many plugins or large codebases. Results are processed in real time.</p>
<p>To keep output manageable, the plugin limits results to the first 500 matches and shows a warning when that limit is reached.</p>
