It would be sooo nice to be able to list/search for items of yours that are not in your inventory, but out on land. I can't tell you how many objects I've lost somewhere.

I'd hate to return all my prims just to find one, or two....ok, mebe there are lots more up in cyberspace somewhere.

I would be interested to know what objects i have scattered around the grid. After a little experiment a few months back with some tortured prims that went physical and flew off wildly in every direction at high speeds, traveling thousands of meters ( I am still getting them returned to me and this happened 4 months ago), i'm currious if any still remain (i did my best at the time to clean up).

trouble is nearly everything would be called "object". If you could click on the list and have the red map marker appear that would be cool !

LOL, "object" I would be out-of-luck for. I would hate to see a list of 512 objects! Only named-objects need to apply!!!

It wouldn't be hard to build an object that would traverse the entire grid in a fairly short time... without slowing the grid down or indulging in self-replication (you can go blind doing that).

How much would people pay for such a service (it would be better to make it a service than to make it an object people could rez, because hundreds of people doing it at once WOULD cause problems).
