20263 releases

  1. Media Search Enhanced 1.0.1Latest

    • Fix: The [mse-search-form] shortcode returned no results on the frontend. Attachment searches that don’t specify a post status now default to inherit; without it WordPress core restricts the query to public statuses, which no attachment has. Regression introduced in 1.0.0.
    • Note: Any query for attachments with a search term and no explicit post status now finds attachments where it previously matched nothing.

  2. Media Search Enhanced 1.0.0

    • New: Multi-term search — use commas to search for multiple items at once anywhere in wp-admin, including the Media Library list view and the “Add Media” modal (e.g. sunset.jpg, logo.png). Limited to 10 terms. Frontend searches still treat commas as literal characters.
    • Performance: Replaced LEFT JOINs + DISTINCT with EXISTS subqueries, eliminating temporary tables and improving search speed up to 10x on large media libraries.
    • Performance: Numeric searches (e.g. searching by attachment ID) now use exact integer matching instead of string comparison, enabling primary key index usage.
    • Compatibility: The plugin no longer overwrites the entire WHERE clause. Conditions from WordPress core and other plugins are now preserved.
    • Security: Fixed reflected XSS in the search form placeholder.
    • Security: Private attachments are now only visible to users with appropriate permissions (editors/admins see all; authors see only their own).
    • Developer: Added mse_max_search_terms filter to customize the multi-term cap (default 10). Added mse_allow_multi_term_search filter to customize where multi-term search is allowed; defaults to is_admin().
