The Purpose: allowing your users to search differently
Ajaxed search engines are all over the place ? literally. 
Whenever a large amount of items is available, be it houses for rent 
or computer spare parts, providing your users with a fast, structured, faceted search 
can be one thousand times more efficient, rather than letting your visitors sink into hundreds of web pages, 
hoping they?ll find what they need ? almost by chance. 
This tool does not replace or try to extend the build in textual search feature of WordPress; 
it aims to provide a quick bootstrap to an ajaxed search engine, demonstrating how easy it can be to turn 
your website into a powerful search tool, without installing a huge and bloated code.
It is easy to hack and to extend at your will. 
You can read here the original article about why <a href="http://www.dopewp.com/searchy/" rel="nofollow ugc">Searchy</a> was built.
<h3>Main Features</h3>
Let your users search combining different criterias: Filter by name, category, tag, or custom field (=1). 
Sort results by date, name or custom field (numeric)
<h3>Typical usage</h3>
Searchy is a customizable search engine composed of two elements: the search filters – typically a filters column, and the search results.
Use the searchy_filter shortcode or the built-in widget to show the filters column. 
Place the searchy_results shortcode in a WordPress page to show the sort bar and the search results. 
Of course those go in square brackets in a chosen Page. 
You can place them one after the other, having searchy_filter and searchy_results close, 
Or get fancy building your custom layout, placing some do_shortcode calls wherever you want.

Format Media Titles WordPress plugin allows you to format titles for newly uploaded media items. It can be pretty tedious to have to manually edit the title for newly uploaded media items. This Plugin automates things by removing and replacing characters from the title such as hyphens, and underscores, with spaces. The title can then be capitalized by a method of your choice:
<ul>
<li>First letter of each word capitalized.</li>
<li>First letter of first word capitalized only.</li>
<li>All letters made uppercase.</li>
<li>All letter made lower case.</li>
<li>No capitalization. Title remains unchanged.</li>
</ul>
You will especially benefit from this Plugin if your media files have descriptive names, as you won’t have to manually edit them at all after uploading them!
As well as formatting the title for newly uploaded media items, you can also optionally copy the formatted title to the ALT, and description fields too, via plugin settings.
Please <a href="https://wordpress.org/support/view/plugin-reviews/format-media-titles" rel="ugc">rate</a> this Plugin if you find it useful. It only takes a moment but it’s very much appreciated. 🙂

Format Media Titles

I had been meaning to search for a plugin like this for a while. I was glad to find that it exists while preparing an article with dozens of images. It definitely saved me some time re-typing the title in a pretty way. The option to copy to ALT is handy too.

Thanks for this, David.

Time-saver

Automatically formats the title (and optionally the ALT field) for new media uploads. No need to manually edit the title anymore every time you upload …
