Two places that would benefit from a search feature is the codex and the ship simulator selection. Would these be a possibility in the future?
Yeah, there're lots of places in the game that can benefit from a search function. Unfortunately I don't think my method is very… realistic, so to speak. If I were Alex, I could've implemented planet search the "correct" way literally within 10 minutes. But since I'm not him (last time I checked), I had had to spend days on this hacky mod chanting black magic. What's worse, it will almost certainly
become obsolete at some time in the future.
All that to say, it'd be way more realistic to just ask Alex for these features, and I'm confident they'll be added to the base game
eventually. I did this mod because I wanted that time to be
now, and my first instinct as a programmer whenever a piece of software annoys me is to Fix It Myself™ (and maybe send a PR afterward). It was a nice challenge by itself, but doing it for
everything is a bit much…
(It'd be really nice if I could name this mod "Search Everything" though……)
