I would love it if the inventory UI was enhanced to have a search function in the same way that the production menu has.

It could be implemented by either by having a 2nd search bar above the inventory or by having the current production search apply the filter to the inventory.

Why:
Because finding items in my inventory is insane when playing Bob's Mods, less so in vanilla because I have memorised the ordering.

That already exists kind of. Moussing over a recipe highlights any matching items in your inventory.

Yes I know, but it still can take me a few seconds to find the item I need, even resorting to moving my mouse on and off the item to make it "blink". It also does not help you if the item is in your belt and you know you just picked it up, but you can't see it.

I rise also hand.

I use sometimes the old "test-mode-mod" and that has a simple text-search and I found that meanwhile really useful to type in "belt" to see all kind of belts or type "robot" to see all robot stuff.

The search function is also inaccessible when looking in a chest.

This would certainly be helpful. So +1

Necro-bump for great justice.

I am sooooo missing a search function for my always crowded inventory.

This please.

Looking for items in these big modded silos is crazy.
