Simply type in the function you’re looking for into the search box which contains a huge font size for some reason and click the look it up button. I tested the search engine using the **wp\_list\_pages** function and it took me right to the Codex page outlining all of the information I needed. [](https://www.wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/wplookup.png) For now, this is a quick and easy way to navigate through the Codex as it relates to WordPress functions. Even if the search functionality is improved on the Codex itself, because [WPLookup supports OpenSearch](http://wplookup.com/add-to-browser), you can add the search engine directly to your browser meaning I’ll probably be using WPLookup versus the Codex for some time to come.
