Inventory Search Engine

This has probably been posted before but here I go...

We should have a search engine to look for lost Objects/Textures/Sounds/Scripts.

At the top of the inventory window should be a 'Search' Tab that would bring up a search window that would look something like this...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

|Text Goes Here| (Search Button)

------------------------------------
Search for:

()All

()Objects ()Textures

()Sounds ()Scripts

-----------------------------------

( () = Checkbox )

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So, when it completes it search it will bring up a seperate inventory window for what was found and it will be selectable to replace back in one of your folders.

As another option, if you double click one of the searched objects, it will redirect your inventory to the object.

If nothing is found it will bring up a tiny window that says "No matching items were found."


Well, that's my idea

Yes I've been in support of something like this since day one.

I would say have it under the Inventory File menu File -> Find/Search

When clicked maybe have it pop up a new window with the options you said (don't forget Clothing, Photos, and Note Cars) in a check box like that. How to redirect is kinda hard to think of, you could have the seperate window also show the path to that, i.e. Inventory\Clothing\Shirts\Crazy_Shirt, then when you double click that it opens your inventory to it?

Not sure, something like that.

Or... you could have the Find/Search thingy make a new text entry box appear in the Inventory window, and when you start typing it auto-jumps to the found thing... thats a short limited feature solution though... but would be better than nothing, currently I think Letter-jump only works inside the current folder.

But ANY type of Find/Search would make me happy!

I *highly* endorse this feature.

How messed up are your inventories that you need this?

Enter search terms: "object"
Searching...
Found 16,401 items containing the text "object".

Actually Julian, my inventory is verrry messed up I even cleaned it and get losted for hours looking for something.

Mine is kinda messed up, I have it all sorta organized, but often I forget which sub folder of a sub folder I put something in, and I need the object quick... and then I'm pretty much screwed.

A find or search would help for finding objects you need fast too.

Not like this would be bad to have anyway.
