Description

AE2 Improved Search (1.12.2)

This mod upgrades the Applied Energistics 2 terminal search with a smarter query parser and extra search targets, so you can find items faster without fighting the vanilla-style search limitations.

Features

Advanced search syntax

  • AND terms by spaces
  • OR groups using |
  • Quoted phrases using "like this"
  • Negation using -word or !word

Extra prefixes

  • @ searches mod id / mod name (example: @thermal)
  • # searches tooltip text (example: #fortune)
  • $ searches OreDictionary names (example: $ingotCopper)
  • & or * searches registry name (example: *minecraft:stone)

Examples

  • certus quartz , Matches items containing both words (AND).
  • "fluix crystal" , Matches the exact phrase.
  • cable | conduit , Matches either word (OR).
  • -damaged or !damaged , Excludes matches containing "damaged".
  • @thermal , Shows items from mods matching "thermal".
  • #fortune , Finds items with "fortune" mentioned in the tooltip.
  • $ingotCopper , Finds items that match the ingotCopper OreDictionary entry.
  • *minecraft:stone , Finds items by registry name.

Advanced examples

  • #"silk touch" , Tooltip search for the exact phrase "silk touch".
  • @"thermal expansion" , Mod search with a quoted phrase (spaces allowed).
  • @thermal $ore , Thermal items that also match OreDictionary entries containing "ore".
  • @thermal $ore | @ae2 $ore , Ores from Thermal mods OR ores from AE2.
  • @thermal $ore -nether , Thermal ores, excluding matches containing "nether".
  • #fortune -#silk , Tooltip contains "fortune" but not "silk".

Configuration

All settings are available in the in-game Mod Config screen:

  • Max Search Length: maximum characters allowed in the terminal search field
  • Include Tooltips in Search: when enabled, normal searches also match tooltips (when disabled, only # searches tooltips)
