Hey,
LunchBucket Ecommerce What can I search via a Post Types > Order (shop_order)? The reason I ask is because I've tried typing in order numbers and customer names for an order and I am not getting any results. What am I supposed to type here?
"Post Types" is autopopulated by all existing WordPress post types, WooCommerce still creates the Shop Order CPT, even if you're using the new custom table storage.
If you use that, you won't find anything inside "shop orders".
I think WooCommerce has some deeply buried setting where you can turn the legacy post types off completely if you don't need them.
CommandUI can not yet search custom WooCommerce tables. Consider upvoting the various WooFeature Requests .
LunchBucket Ecommerce Is there a way to do a true global/spotlight like search where I type a keyword and it shows me results from everywhere throughout my wp-admin? For example, I type a last name and it shows me all orders that contain this last night, user accounts, pages, posts, etc.
No, right now you need to at least roughly know what you what to search across.
Most "scopes" only expose their search results when the scope is active, which is mostly a performance optimization.
But I could make this configurable, I think, so that you can find everything from the root search.
