How It Works

The Integrated Search bar is prominently located at the top of the Drawables List. As you type into the search field, the list dynamically updates to show only the drawables that match the search criteria. This is especially useful when working with projects that contain a significant number of items, allowing users to immediately pinpoint the specific item they need.

Key Features of Integrated Search:

1. Real-Time Filtering: As you type in the search box, the results in the drawables list update instantly, showing only items that match the search term.

2. Search by Name, File Name, Game Name: The search field checks for various data like assigned names, file names, game file names and more. Making it easy to find items based on your naming conventions or the game structure.

3. Drawable Types Filtering: You can search across various drawable types such as tops, masks, shoes, and more. This ensures that no matter what kind of item you're looking for, the Integrated Search will help you find it quickly.

4. Fuzzy Matching: The search feature supports fuzzy matching, meaning you don’t need to enter exact names or terms. This makes the search more forgiving and user-friendly, even if you are unsure of the exact drawable name.

5. Context-Sensitive Results: The results of the search will not only show the drawable names but also the associated drawable type and any other relevant metadata, helping you easily distinguish between similar items.

Use Case:

Imagine you're working on a clothing resource and need to quickly locate a specific mask or top. Instead of manually scrolling through a long list of drawables, you can simply type "mask" or part of the item’s name in the search field, and the Integrated Search will instantly show a list containing only the relevant items.

Benefits:

• Time-Saving: Eliminates the need to manually scroll through the list of drawables, allowing you to focus on editing and optimizing items.

• Efficient: Makes finding and editing specific drawables more streamlined, especially in large projects with hundreds of items.

• User-Friendly: Supports partial searches and fuzzy matching, making it accessible for users even if they don’t remember the exact item name.

Summary

The Integrated Search feature is a vital tool within Durty Cloth Tool’s user interface, making it easier and faster to navigate and manage your drawable list, enhancing your workflow and project management.
