Not sure if this is all the changes needed, but this is what I did to get it to work for me. Seems fine so far.

file info.json
changed: factorio_version": "0.17", to factorio_version": "0.18",

file data-final-fixes.lua
changed width = 32, to width = 64,
changed height = 32, to height = 64,

change at your own risk.

It's worked for me so far, thanks for the details. You actually helped me figure out a problem with another mod I was having.

You can unzip it and make the changes that Sunnova suggested, works perfectly.

I sent a pull request ( https://github.com/canidae/factorio/pull/34 ) but no response yet

I recommend changing the data-final-fixes.lua to this instead (will help with other mod compatibility):

for , tool in pairs(data.raw.tool) do
if tool.icon or tool.icons then
data:extend({
{
type = "sprite",
name = "auto_research_tool
" .. tool.name,
filename = tool.icon or (tool.icons[1] and tool.icons[1].icon) or nil,
priority = "extra-high-no-scale",
width = tool.icon_size,
height = tool.icon_size,
scale = 16/tool.icon_size
}
})
end
end

The changes from JDOGG are better, the icons in the search windows are correctly scaled with his change whilst with just the changes from Sunnova they weren't. Ty JDOGG.

JDOGG is right but the only changes are in lines

changed width = 32, to width = 64,
changed height = 32, to height = 64,

to:
width = tool.icon_size,
height = tool.icon_size,
scale = 16/tool.icon_size

if you C&P all his string, it's not working because of a missing _ in the first line ;)
just in case somebody is getting headaches about it^^
