[Quality of Life] Add ability to search inventory by chemical element symbol
Submitted
I've found myself a few times searching for ores and ingot by chemical element, 'Fe', 'Si', and most recently 'Mg', etc...
Needless to say this doesn't work as I originally thought because of the coincidence that 'fe' matching 'Silicon Wafer' etc.
That said it occurred to me it might be a nice feature to add
I like this feedback You can't vote. Please authorize!
would be great to have such a feature, can imagine some kind of kind of filters like "ores" "components" etc.

I do understand what you mean, i must stress out how difficult it would be to actually do this effectively as the search would give a lot of "hits" based on only 2-3 letters. One could prioritize it towards the top of the list if string is 3 letters or less but other then that, you should notice that most search stuff work with 3+ characters to work effectively. On the other hand, having a button for just ores, then entering search would surely not make it faster-more efficient then typing just "magn" for instance. Will be interesting to see if and how this develops. :)
