## Përshkrim

Find Blocks, Patterns & Shortcodes locates content containing specific Gutenberg
blocks (including options to search by CSS class and HTML anchor attributes), patterns,
and shortcodes, with a CSV export feature perfect for audits & analysis.

#### Core Features

 * **Post type filtering** – search across posts, pages, or custom post types to
   find blocks, patterns, and shortcodes
 * **CSV export** – export results for reporting, auditing, and analysis
 * **Block dropdown** – select from all registered blocks
 * **Attribute search** – find blocks by CSS class and HTML anchor attributes
 * **Synced pattern search** – find usage of reusable blocks/patterns
 * **Sortable results tables** for easy analysis
 * **WP-CLI support** for automation

#### Performance Optimized

 * Smart caching with 5-minute TTL
 * Batch processing (100 posts per batch)
 * Query optimization (IDs only fetch)
 * Progress indicators for long operations
 * Cancellable searches
 * Hard limit protection (500-1000 posts)

#### Security

 * Enhanced input validation with blacklisting
 * Dual-layer rate limiting (user + IP)
 * Timeout protection (25-second safeguard)
