To reproduce:

1. Have language set to English.
2. Open the production statistics in a world which has produced beacons, and click "all" (or some time period beacons have been produced).
3. Ctrl+f or click to open the search dialog.
4. Type "transmits".

The English description of beacons is "Transmits the effect of modules to nearby friendly entities." So searching "transmits" should display beacons, but it doesn't.

Searching "entities" displays repair packs ("Used to repair friendly entities.") but not beacons; this is clearly inconsistent. Some items' descriptions are searchable, but others' aren't.

Items I've noticed aren't searchable by description (in English; it might depend on language):

• Beacon
• Radar (try "scan")
• Rocket silo (try "launch")
• Splitter (all 3 types) (try "cargo")

I've mostly had fuzzy search off, but fuzzy search seems to not affect this.

Thanks for the report. It's now fixed for the next release.
