Quick Map Search

Search quickly for tags and train stops, and instantly jump to their position on the map.

Usage

Press CTRL + Q and start typing.

Tips and Tricks

  • Search will be performed as contains-operation (not equals).
  • Search is case-insensitive.
  • Spaces " " and asterisks "*" will be treated as wildcard symbols. E.g. "iro pla" would match "iron-plate" ("pla iro" would not match, as the order is relevant).
  • Press Enter to jump to the next search result (if search field is focused).
  • Use the icon selector button (at the end of the search field), if you don't remember the name of the thing you are looking for.
  • To better remember the names in future, icons inside Tags and Train Stops will be additionally displayed as "hint" (small gray text) in each line (except virtual ones).
  • The internal search term is slightly different than the displayed one to support a better text search and avoiding false-positives:

"map-tag $tag-icon $tag-text [$posX,$posY]" "train-stop $train-stop-name [$posX,$posY]"

  • Tags are always prefixed with "map-tag" and Train-Stops with "train-stop", so they can be included in the search for additional filtering.
  • Icons are not altered inside the search term and will use the rich text syntax, e.g. "[item=iron-plate]" or "[fluid=water]".
  • Recommend to use Map Tag Generator to automatically generate Tags.
  • Recommend to use Factory Search to search for other things.

Notice

  • ~~Tested only in singleplayer and one surface.~~ Added basic support for both in v1.0.1 / v1.0.2.
  • Feedback and suggestions are welcome. Bug Reports not so much.
