WP LookUp – Search the Codex
Written by Stefan Vervoort on March 25, 2009
I came across a tool lately called WP LookUp. They preach that with this tool, you can find theme and template tags in the codex fast.
That sounds great!
For me (and I think many other people too), it is always hard to find exactly the information you need in the codex. The search engine inside the codex usually doesn’t send me to the right pages.
But is this tool what it preach? Is it what we should expect it to be?
After entering a few search queries in the search box, I came to the conclusion it doesn’t really work. For example: when we search for “page”, you expect to find a good number of results. However, you get redirected to the codex search engine (which isn’t what we would like!) and it doesn’t display any results! You have to click on “Search” again to find anything.
It’s a pity. I thought I finally had found a tool I can search the codex database with in an accurate way. However, this tool is not the solution.
