  • Includes taxonomy terms in results
  • Scheduled posts included in search
  • Auto-search highlighted editor text
  • Homepage shortcut via 'home'
  • Custom shortcuts with code
  • Search external sources (Wikipedia, GitHub, iTunes, Spotify, Codex)
  • Typeahead search on Manage Posts screens

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Better Internal Link Search

Type shortcuts in the search field and all of your registered shortcuts will be listed. Additional shortcuts can be added with a little bit of code in your functions.php, so if you find yourself linking to a particular URL over and over again, add a shortcut and save yourself some time!
Type - or -help in the search field and the search modifiers will be listed with their syntax and a brief description about what they do. Although they can be a bit more complex to use, they have the potential to save a lot of time when repeatedly linking to external websites. For example, searching for the term 'interrobang' on Wikipedia would look like this: -wikipedia interrobang A few simple modifiers have been included by default and should serve as examples for developers that want to create their own or change the syntax. Basic support is built in for Wikipedia, iTunes, Spotify, the WordPress plugin directory, the Codex, GitHub repositories, listing a user's GitHub Gists, and linking to author archive URLs.
If your site has a lot of content, the automatic search feature may cause it to lag as search results are retrieved. You can disable this feature by unchecking the "Automatic Search" field on the Writing settings screen in your dashboard (go to Settings → Writing).
