<p><strong>Try it live in your browser</strong> — <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.</p>
<p>This plugin is made for:</p>
<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><strong>Multi-term search</strong> — 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 <strong>any</strong> 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>

<p>Apex Folders is a powerful yet lightweight plugin that adds folder organization to your WordPress Media Library. It allows you to create a hierarchical folder structure to organize your images, videos, documents, and other media files, making them much easier to find and manage.</p>
<h3>Key Features</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Hierarchical Folders</strong>: Create unlimited folders and subfolders to organize your media</li>
<li><strong>Drag & Drop Interface</strong>: Easily move media files between folders with intuitive drag and drop functionality</li>
<li><strong>Upload to Folders</strong>: Directly upload new media to specific folders</li>
<li><strong>Works with Default Media Library</strong>: Seamlessly integrates with WordPress’s built-in media management</li>
<li><strong>Automatic Unassigned Folder</strong>: Media without a folder is automatically placed in an “Unassigned” folder</li>
<li><strong>No Media Duplication</strong>: Files are organized virtually without duplicating them on your server</li>
<li><strong>Lightweight</strong>: Optimized for performance with minimal impact on your site’s speed</li>
</ul>
<h3>Perfect For</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Content Creators</strong>: Easily find and reuse media assets across your site</li>
<li><strong>Agencies & Developers</strong>: Organize client media by project, category or purpose</li>
<li><strong>Online Stores</strong>: Keep product images organized by category, season, or brand</li>
<li><strong>Large Media Libraries</strong>: Manage thousands of files without the frustration of endless scrolling</li>
</ul>
<h3>How It Works</h3>
<p>Apex Folders creates a custom taxonomy for your media attachments and provides an intuitive user interface for managing them. The plugin adds folder functionality directly to your existing WordPress Media Library interface, making it feel like a natural part of WordPress.</p>
<h3>Additional Information</h3>
<h4>Folder Hierarchy</h4>
<p>Apex Folders supports unlimited folder nesting, allowing you to create as deep a hierarchy as you need for your media organization.</p>
<h4>Admin Tools</h4>
<p>Administrators have access to helpful tools for managing folders, including:<br />
* Rebuild Unassigned Folder – ensures all media has proper folder assignments<br />
* Flush Term Cache – resolves issues with folder counts<br />
* Debug Tools – helps troubleshoot folder-related issues</p>
<h4>Performance Considerations</h4>
<p>The plugin is optimized for performance but managing folders with thousands of files may experience slight delays. We recommend using a good caching solution for sites with very large media libraries.</p>
