Did a quick search but couldn't find anything. Which is strange because this function
should already be in this game. Or maybe I missed it, in which case I apologize.

I´m calling for a complete search function in every menu to quickly find people, items
or whatever.

I'd very much enjoy being able to string-search and filter the Unit Listing, Stocks Menus, and building material lists when creating structures. It'd be great to have persistent text filtering when building constructions over and over (so that only Limestone Blocks will ever show up until I cancel my string filter, etc)

Alas, Toady is only several men. And where does this manner of feature lie in priority when compared with fixing major bugs and adding large gameplay features?

[NW_Kohaku]

It would be at least a significant painkiller if we are not to get the "Complete Interface Overhaul" if we could simply have something like this, especially a persistant search function.

[andvare]

Too bad Toady wont got open source, could really speed up the process :p

Let's not get over this topic again, Toady doesn't want, and has reasons to.
By the way, I've been supporting this suggestion and the likes of it for a looong time. It would definitely be a nice addition.

The only search thing I really want that we don't already have is one for the list of creatures to summon in the Arena.

Merchandise as well (e.g. rather than scanning their list, input a search string to show only sand bags for example).

[WormSlayer]

Hell yes! Toady has already done the groundwork with the manager interface so we may even get it!

[Cyntrox]

Definatly supported.

For when you wish to have 1 (or more) of everything (just in case) alphebatizing would be helpful.

I'm voting for this -- while hoping that you note the alphabatizing.

[Bohandas]

I'm in favor of this

[harborpirate]

I'm completely in favor of this suggestion. A simple string filter in all lists would really speed up everything in the game.

[nbonaparte]

Absolutely. With the manager interface, it wouldn't be a difficult thing to implement either. I don't want to have to forbid every other building material if I want to build a bunch of walls.

[Di]

Do not forget Stockpile settings menus, millitary screen and rooms screen (the one binded to 'R')!
You know, I believe it would be wotrh to list them in voting. (Don't know if it's possible to edit suggetions there)
