Factory Search


Search your factory for items, fluids, entities, signals, tags and more with Shift + F. Displays a list of matching buildings: clicking on a result opens it in the map. Supports Space Exploration (works across all surfaces). Control + Shift + Click on almost anything (e.g. built entity, inventory item, recipe) to open the search with that item selected. Similar to BeastFinder and Where is it Made?

i [Completed-1.3.0] Keybinding to open search with a specific item

2 years ago

QuickSearch has a nice functionality where you can option+click an item an see it’s details.

Would it be possible to have something similar for your mod?

Maybe something like shift+option+click on an item opens the search window with the clicked item already filled out.

Oh that's a great idea! Just like https://mods.factorio.com/mod/slightly_smarter_pipette and https://mods.factorio.com/mod/RecipeBook, which work with pretty much any vanilla GUI.

Yes, that functionality is in Recipe Book, not Quick Search :)

Would be really neat to have something like that for Factory Search as well.

Thanks so much for the suggestion, I've just added it in v1.3.0.

Awesome, thank you for adding this so quickly! It works like a charm and makes the mod feel like a native feature!
