    if i want to search for a specific type of bomb, i have to go through all of the bomb stuff and all of the nuclear stuff if i wanted to find a nuclear bomb because of how the search works, it would be good if there was a way to search for a specific search term like how most search engines have ""

    I'd also opt for + (results must include the following word) and - (results must not include the following word). In the mean time you could search for nuke

    In fact, all of this is already in the game (at least since the latest update). Press f1 in the save browser to open a guide on advanced use of the search function.

    It's also literally written in the search bar

    I don't use stock TPT but a mod 99% of the time and since the mod authors don't update their mods I have no idea of new features. Seeing how people vote it's obvious a lot of people are doing the same (people can see the number of votes in the save browser and upvote popular saves).

     

    And no, I'm not going back to stock TPT because precise constuction (like subframing) with just the PROP tool is tedious and costs far too much time. I'd offer real money if someone backported mark2222's Subframe Chipmaker HUD, CNFG and STCK tools to stock TPT (plus Shift+F5 to reorder particles).

    @somestuff (View Post) Yeah as stated above, advanced search is likely what you need, press F1 in the save browser to get help on how to use it.

     The Subframe Chaipmaker Lua port has one major issue: you can't move the zoom window while you're using the Configure tool, so if you need to configure larger distances than the maximum zoom window size you're back to using PROP and manually counting pixels. It's great for smallish builds but the larger your build gets the less useful it becomes.
