✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Massive community trust: 4,725 endorsements and 1.2M downloads show this is a must-have for many players.
- Saves real time when you're drowning in loot and need to find that one specific weapon or aid item.
- Works across six key menus, so you're not just getting search in one place—it's a full QoL upgrade.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in August 2023, so it might not be tested with the latest Fallout 4 updates or DLC—check compatibility before installing.
- Only adds search to six menus; if you want search in other UI screens (like the map or settlement workshop), you'll need additional mods.
- No detailed documentation provided, so you'll have to figure out the exact keybind and any potential conflicts on your own.
For Fallout 4 players who hate scrolling through endless inventory lists and want instant access to items. Perfect for hoarders, completionists, and anyone who mods their game for convenience. Skip if you prefer a vanilla experience or rarely use those menus.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the latest game patch installed, as the mod was last updated in 2023 and may need a compatibility patch for newer versions.
- If you use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, install through that to keep track of load order and avoid conflicts with other UI mods.
- Test the search in a save where you have a lot of items to see how it handles large lists—it should be instant, but if not, check for conflicts.
