AE2 Improved Search

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

• 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)
