Any sibling elements of the shortcode, or children of those siblings, that are “li” elements will be searched by the text field it generates. As you type, each word in the text field is matched against the readable text of the list items (and optionally their title attributes). Any list items which don’t match that text are hidden. Example: `[list_item_filter placeholder="Filter this list by terms" searchtitles ="true"]` Shortcode parameters: * **label** (string): Define the search field’s label text. _Default value: Filter list items:_ * **showlabel** (boolean): Determine whether or not the search field’s label is visible. _Default value: true_ * **placeholder** (string): Define the search field’s placeholder text. _Default value: Search_ * **noresultsmsg** (string): Define the message shown when no list items are found. Provide an empty string to disable this feature. _Default value: no results_ * **searchtitles** (bool): Expand text matching to include the first title attribute of the list item’s HTML. _Default value: false_ * **formclass** (string): Define one or more class names for the form. _Default value: search-form_ * **inputclass** (string): Define one or more class names for the search field. _Default value: search-field_ If you like this plugin or have a request, let me know! ## Installation Upload the plugin to your blog, activate it, then use the shortcode in a page or post! ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/44d246b54cc8b38cc59f183ee903cdbe95c2705c9aaa4aea6ae4a2280eb31abf? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[I find it usefull](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/i-find-it-usefull/)󠁿 [andrew72nd](https://profiles.wordpress.org/andrew72nd/) April 21, 2017 I used it in a internal server webpage to ease the content finding in some long lists. One thing I noticed: when I erase the searching key-phrase it shows the full list. when I click on the x button it shows only the filtered results. I would expect to show the full list since it erases the key-phrase. but it’s working nce!
