Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

WP PlugIndex currently records Admin Menu Filter version 0.3.1 as active, updated 22d ago and tested up to WordPress 7.1.
Overview
About this plugin
Sometimes you may have a lot of admin menu items based on your WordPress installation. With this plugin, you only need to type a few letters of the item name you’re looking for and voila! The plugin uses plain JavaScript (no jQuery) to filter menu items with case-insensitive matching.
Features:
Instant filtering – Debounced search, so typing stays smooth even with long menus
Keyboard shortcuts – Press / to focus the search box (when you are not typing in a field), Escape to clear it
Matching children are reachable – Submenus of the matching items are expanded, no hovering needed
Accessible – The box is a labelled search landmark and the number of results is announced to screen readers
No jQuery dependency
How it works:
The plugin adds a search input at the top of the admin menu and follows these filtering rules:
If a top-level item matches, it stays visible together with all of its submenu items.
If only some submenu items match, those items stay visible (highlighted) under their parent, and the rest are hidden.
Notification badges and screen reader text are ignored, only the visible name of each item is searched.
