🎯 Tips & Tricks
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.
🔧 Troubleshooting
Mod conflicts
Check load order. Disable conflicting mods one by one.
⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Installing without checking requirements
👍 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.
