    FYI: I’ve been having a problem searching for your plugin from within WP Admin > Plugins > Add New > Search. When I enter “Featured Image Admin Thumb” it brings up no results. But if I search for “Admin Thumb” it comes up as the first one.

    I use this plugin often so I’ve noticed this happening several times. I don’t know if there is anything you can do about this but I thought I’d make you aware the problem exists.

    Hi,

    First of all thank you for using my plugin.

    I just tried this on a local WP installation that had no plugins installed.

    I clicked Plugins, Add New, typed “Featured Image Admin Thumb” into the Search plugins… input box (the selection shown immediately to the left of the input was “Keyword”) and the first plugin in the results – top left – was Featured Image Admin Thumb. I tried “Admin thumb” also and the first plugin was indeed Featured Image Featured Image Admin Thumb.

    So, it looks like it can work but it is useful to have the feedback.

    Once again, thank you for using my plugin.

    Hummm… I didn’t type it in. As I’ve used it before, it comes up in the suggested list when I start typing in the search box so I just click the name from there. Then, before I wrote you, I tried copy/pasting the title from your plugin page just to make sure I wasn’t it wasn’t typed wrong, and I got the same non-results. I just tried this choosing from the dropdown again on a site where it’s already installed and one where it was not, and it did come up first in the results. I swear that I have had a problem finding it the last 3 times I went to install it on a site or I wouldn’t have mentioned it. <heavy sigh> Just FYI, in case I’m not the only one, my primary browser is FireFox Developer.

    And thank you for taking the time to offer this plugin to us. It’s such a great time saver!
