A search bar, and nothing else
Added a search bar to the posts dashboard. Type any part of a post's title and the list narrows to match, no need to hit enter or click anything.
Two small tricks worth knowing. Type "draft" or "drafts" and it shows you every draft you have sitting around. Type "schedule" or "scheduled" and it pulls up everything queued to publish. Same box, no extra steps.
I thought about doing this the usual way. A status dropdown next to a "filter" button, maybe a couple of chips for drafts and scheduled, that kind of thing. It's the standard pattern, and it would have worked fine. But it's also three more things to build, three more things that can break, and three more things you'd have to learn the first time you used it.
One box that just reads what you type is simpler on both ends. You don't have to know where the "drafts" filter lives, you just type the word. And I don't have to maintain a filter panel that mostly sits there unused between the few times someone actually needs it.
That's the whole update. Small, but it's the kind of small I'd rather keep doing.
