Часто задаваемые вопросы
-
What file types are searched by default?
-
The plugin searches:
— PHP (.php)
— JavaScript (.js)
— CSS (.css)
— Text (.txt)
— Markdown (.md)
— JSON (.json)
— XML (.xml)
— HTML (.html) -
Why are some files missing from results?
-
The plugin automatically skips:
— Binary files (images, fonts, etc.)
— Files over 2MB in size (configurable)
— Vendor directories (node_modules, vendor, .git, etc.)
— Files matching your exclusion patterns -
Can I search WordPress core files?
-
Currently the plugin only searches theme and plugin files. Core file search may be added in future versions.
-
How do I use exclusion patterns?
-
Enter comma-separated patterns in the «Exclude patterns» field. Examples:
—node_modules, vendor— skip these common directories
—*.log, cache/— skip log files and cache directory
—assets/css, includes/— skip specific folders -
What are the recommended search limits?
-
For large sites, we recommend:
— Max file size: 2-5MB
— Max results: 100-200
This prevents timeouts and memory issues.
