I think you should make a search feature for the admin area, so that users can find features that they can't seem to locate.

Would this be a live search? That's the only way I can see it working... searching, and then showing which 'area' the feature is in...

That's what I mean; when an admin searches for something, it reads through the admin panel pages, finds possible matches, then shows a list of links.

I'm going to try and do something similar for the next update except it'll be JS based and keywords for each admin page will be manually inputted rather than it searching the source for each page.

I did think that searching through all the pages would be a bit much; so yeah, adding manually sounds good.

However, I do think admins should be able to add to it; that way if an admin-editable code is added the list can be updated.

If the admin has added something, then surely they'll know where it is If it's a whole new section added section then the coder can add their own span with keywords if they wish.

Alright, thanks Ross.
