Mod to search objects by typing in the object name?
« on: May 12, 2014, 01:26:41 PM »
Just wondering, if there's a useful thing that I can type in, say the word "Sink", and it will show everything named 'Sink' in the game. Like you search for blocks in Minecraft.

I looked in Google, but to no avail. So maybe I'm looking for the wrong thing. I do appreciate that they included the ability to search through EP's from Generations into the base game, but the ability to search by typing in a phrase is really needed right now.

Actually, I'm curious about this too.
I was searching through buydebug one evening trying to just find the WA chests to no avail. It took me a good 20 minutes. I could seriously use one of these if anyone might have one!

Use the filter on the right to see only the World Adventures items and you'd have found them faster. :)  I use the filters a lot - it's really helpful if you know which expansion introduced the item you're looking for. :)

What's sad is I did do that. I was looking in the wrong tab for most of it.  :(

As I was saying in my OP, I do appreciate this feature. But to search by typing in a search phrase is what I'm looking for. :)
Say you don't remember the expansion a particular item is in, and you don't feel like using filters as you feel it'll take too long looking through every single object until you find it.

There's no mod that offers that as far as I know.
