Clicking the item icon in the Materials list should bring you to the item
I posted this once in the crafting forum but I think I put it in the wrong place so I'm going to copy it over here:
Sometimes when I'm crafting, there are craft's that require craft-able materials. However, it's tedious to look through the list for these items. Sometimes they are at a lower level that I don't remember (like the Woolen Cloth, what level bracket do I search in?) and sometimes they are from an entirely different craft. The new drop down list on the top helps a bit but it could be way easier.
I think that first, clicking on the material icon should bring you to the craft (circled in red, pic 1) if it is craftable (pic 2). There also need to be a back button to easily return to the original craft (pic 2).
Finally, a text search for items would help immensely (pic 3). I guess make it work like how the market boards work for item search, or have it update per character typed like in xivdb.
