Yes, the plugin just searches admin items he can see on the menu when he\’s logged in. ### How to add custom items to the search results that are not present on the WP admin menu? Use the filter hook `quickal_extra_items` to add new items: ` add_filter( \’quickal_extra_items\’,\’ add_custom_items_to_quickal\’, 10, 1 ); function add_custom_items_to_quickal( $items){ $items[] = array( \’label\’ => \’Custom Item\’, // Item label \’link\’ => \’https:// custom-link.com\’, // Link when clicked \’icon\’ => \’dashicons-admin-site\’, // Dashicon or Base64 icon \’term\’ => \’custom item\’. // Terms that this item will react to, generally the label lowercase ); ``` return $items; ``` } ` ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/8aa9b9b43c40e51dc0ade8d29eef813e675ccf3e4d7da96bcee974106868f4ab? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Speeds up administrative navigation a lot](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/speeds-up-administrative-navigation-a-lot/)󠁿 [rtech91](https://profiles.wordpress.org/rtech91/) août 5, 2025 Searches through post types, users, and administrative links, allowing you to jump directly to them.
