At this point I've played this game for enough time that I have quite a few blueprints built up, and I am missing the possibility to search for the individual components within them. For example, I can name my blueprint something useful, but let's say for example I have ten different setups that use Chemical Plants - I sure would like being able to list them all by searching for "Chemical Plant", rather than whatever I named the blueprint at the time - IF I named it at all!

It would also make clearing out duplicates much much easier, as I could just list all the relevant blueprints and easily mouse over them to see which ones are too similar, or if I have some with a recipe set and some without.

are you putting the blueprints in books? you could name the book "chemical plant blueprints" and put all the similar ones in one place.

That's absolutely one way to work on it, I just find that it would be a lot easier to list by content - that way, if I make, say, a combination of ChemPlants and Assembly Machines, I wouldn't have to choose which one to put it in. I could put it in both, of course, but you get my point Less overall hassle to be able to search immediately, I think.
