The Search & Pagination extension adds searching and pagination functionality to Simple File List Pro. It is designed to make finding what you need and navigating through large file lists much easier.
Search
A search box will appear above your file list. The file search can be based on name and/or a date range, if the date column is displayed as shown here.
The use of wildcards is also supported. For example: .jp*g would find both jpg and jpeg files.

Pagination
Pagination controls will appear below the list, plus a total count of the files. You define the size of each sub-page in the main plugin’s settings.
Settings
The extension adds three new options to the Display Settings page…
- Enable Search: Show or hide the search panel
- Search By: Show Search Inputs for Text, Date or Both
- Search by Date Modified: Otherwise search by date added to the list.
- Enable Pagination: Organize the file list into smaller pages
- Files per Page: Choose how many files to show per page
Is it possible to add category’s and then do lookup per category?
No, but you could use folders to categorize files, then use the search to find those. However, Simple File List does not use WordPress post categories.
Using the search function I can ´t search in the file descriptions, right? This would be very helpful. Do you plan to add such a function?
Yes, descriptions are part of the search.
How I can change the column width and color background for the first line
You cannot change the width of the table column for only one row. To change the appearance of just the first line, you’ll need to use some javascript (jQuery) in your theme. Here is an example…
