Search for contents of custom fields (admin side)

It would be nice if it was possible, probably together with the custom fields revamp, to search – from the admin side – for the content of custom fields.

For example, I have a custom field named CSS (there is some magic going on there, on the article panel it displays as “Style”…). I wish to find (on the Articles panel) all articles that have the value “foo” for that field. At present search returns nothing.

TIA.

Yes there are various extensions that can find the content of custom fields (I use “smd_where_used“ myself). The point is, if custom fields become a more important citizen, an extension should not be needed.

And for custom fields that actually output content, that should be available to search from the front-end side of things, like, for example, a custom field that stores additional meta-data about images.

I second phiw13. In fact i secretly dream, that smd_tags, custom fields and categories could be multifunctionally merged. Ai ai ai.
