As the title indicates, its very tedious to search through my bank/inventory of 200+ items every time I need to find a specific crafting item/s. This problem could be alleviated completely by including a search function in the banking/inventory window to:
1) search by crafting item type (blacksmithing, clothing, etc)
2) have an option to block out all other item types so only the crafting items you are looking for are displayed

I envision this search function to be located on the inventory window to the right of the "name" search function which toggles the inventory by alphabetical/reverse alphabetical order.

Also, having to search the guild stores for alchemy and food ingredients is needlessly tedious (...time consuming ...and lame), since you can't refine the search and thus have to manually scroll and search through...sometimes hundreds of items, just to find one specific ingredient. This problem would be fixed completely by including a word search function in the guild store UI to cross reference searches, or just search by name. IE, instead of having to search through pages and pages listing hundreds of different food items, you type "tomato" into the word search function and it only shows items with "tomato" in the name.

I spend way too much time searching through this stuff manually, it sux. These are two suggestions which would save your players tons of time searching through item lists to find items and allow them to spend that time doing other more desirable activities in game, like playing it. I am hoping that these suggestions would be relatively easy to implement coding wise because they would integrate perfectly with the current UI/window functions and make it much easier to locate specific items.
