Widget Search
A new search panel inside Elementor’s widget sidebar. Type any widget name; results blend three states.
Result types
- Active — widgets from plugins you have active. Drag onto the canvas as usual.
- Inactive — widgets from plugins you have installed but not active. Each result shows an Activate button.
- Not installed — widgets from plugins you don't have yet. Each result shows an Install Plugin button.
What every result shows
- Widget name
- Source plugin name
- WordPress.org rating
- Active install count
One-click install
Click Install Plugin on any not-installed result. Widget Finder installs and activates the plugin in the background — no page reload, no leaving the editor. The widget becomes available in your panel immediately, and your unsaved Elementor changes are preserved.
