LOAD CRAFT screen search box

[Fyrem]

LOAD  CRAFT screen should have a SEARCH function....

e.g. a box where I can type "LKO" and see all the ships I saved with the word "LKO" in the name.... 

or "Station"

or "base" ..

 

you get the idea.

Maybe it should, but personally I never have that many ships in that list that I need a search.

Also, they are organized alphabetically, so if you use a system for the names (I use the destination at the first word - e.g. Duna, Mun, Jool) then ships are easy to find.

I always name my military planes with a "K".

There were a lot of threads suggesting all sorts of search features for the game, all of them would be useful, craft search, savegame search, tracking station search etc etc. The only one we currently have is part search in the editor, which is less than useful for me personally.

People need it, but there are so signs of implementing it in near future, at least not that we know of.

Or is there a mod for that?

[John FX]

So obvious now I read the words. +1 from me.

There is, although It's clearly the kind of thing that would be appreciated in stock.

I support this.

I also would like to see a search bar for the tracking station and savegame screen.

Better still, let me click on a part from the toolbox and filter craft that use that part. I have enough ships now that I'm losing track of which ones have landing legs, wheels, chutes, probe cores, whatever.

If it supported directories (perhaps in the same fashion as sub-assemblies?) you wouldn't need to search or put keywords in craft names.

I'm still for search functionality, but maybe you should change your naming scheme? Or do some additions to current names, eg. I have three similar rockets, one is simply called Brykieta Mk4, then there is Mk4D - this one has docking port, then there is also Mk4R - with recoverable first stage. Mundownik Mk4 is unmanned lander, Mk4K is manned.

Just saying though

just don't be like me: use a naming scheme but change it every week
