Improve Inventory Manager Search
tracked
Fullperm Alpha
We often try to find items using the search field of the inventory manager. However this does not always work well because it uses the exact search expression as a substring to find in items.
It would be better if it searched for items that contain any of the substrings divided by spaces.
For example: a search for "Superbrand Skirt" will not find "Superbrand - Red Skirt" actually though it would be more convenient if it did.
I believe this small change could help many people manage their inventory more efficient.
Best regards.

We actually need much more powerful inventory search, e.g. Boolean operators, ability to search for folders only, ability to search in any specified field to which the viewer has access, e.g., creator, wildcards, etc.

https://gyazo.com/a939b06cbe6434e2931dc87b0a6bf158 this is very much already a thing and has been for a long time...you however have to use the + symbol to search correctly, so you can type Superbrand+skirt and you will get all skirts you purchased from that brand, or you can type Reborn+red and everything red that you have with a reborn size will come up as shown with items in the gyazo :) I logged in in the SL viewer to be 100% sure and it does work exactly as it does in firestorm, and I would assume other viewers. Hope that helps :D
My favourite day was deciding to push it even further and you can do more than the two ..... so Brand + Item + Colour or Brand + item + size etc. I hope this is what you meant :)
