Search dwarf-list by current labor or profession
« on: January 09, 2015, 11:58:05 am »

I would like to see a search button enabled in the unit list in Fortress mode similar to the new "F" button used to search for keywords in adventure mode conversations.

When you have 200ish dwarves and you just want to examine or find one specific dwarf it can take a few minutes to find them in the list of all the dwarves in your fort. If you have a search button then you could either type in the profession of the dwarf you are looking for or the name of the labor you think they are carrying out and then the list could be narrowed down to only the dwarves who are members of that profession or dwarves who are carrying out that labor.

Its not that big of an issue but it would be a simple little nice change that would improve the interface.
