This plugin works perfectly for filtering WooCommerce categories. I have over 120 product categories and this plugin now makes it very easy to find the right category to assign. Thanks!

Brilliant – working on WP 5.0.3

This just saved my life… well… a lot of work and me hitting my head against a wall thinking why don’t developers invent useful plugins.. Add a donate button and I’ll gladly buy you a coffee…

Very good

I have more than 5 thousand categories. This plugin has helped me immensely. Thank you!

Why is this not default WP functionality?!

I’m super impressed with this plugin. Simple and needed. Scrolling through a very long list of categories everytime is frustrating for our editors and journalists. This is exactly how I’ve imagined categories should work in admin. Thanks!

Must have for a site with many terms

Something that should be present in WP from the start. Nice, simple and friendly looking.
