MonsterSearch

MonsterSearch is a lightweight MODX Manager plugin that supercharges the built-in quick search. It interprets short search operators (prefixes and symbols), handles exact-name queries using quotes, and allows for direct ID filtering.

The idea sparked from a daily frustration: whenever I double-clicked a Chunk or snippet tag like [[$head]], MODX copied the $ symbol too. Pasting $head into the Manager search returned nothing, because the native search couldn't handle the symbol.

MonsterSearch fixes that. Now, you can copy and paste element tags exactly as they appear, and the search instantly finds the right item.
