Prior to the Chapter 4 release, the Search field was quite useful. The fact that it allowed you to see only the items that matched your search criteria, combined with bringing them to the top of the screen, saved a great deal of time and aggravation when doing inventory management.
This recent change that merely highlights items in inventory is a significant step backwards, damaging the value of the Search field. Even with the highlighting of items that match the Search criteria the player still has to scroll through their entire inventory Every. Single. Time. they want to look for something. And to make things worse, some items don’t show up well even after they’re highlighted (like Black Lotus Powder, for example). Mind you, even if the highlighting was amazing and worked perfectly this would still have been a bad idea compared to what we had before.
This is an absurdly bad solution compared to what we had before Chapter 4 was released. Please return the better functionality to your customers, this new method is inferior to what we had before.
