[Suggestion] "Search Recipes Using this Material" should include filtering completed.

As the title suggests, I think it would be highly beneficial for the "Search Recipes Using this Material" to have an option to filter completed recipes, similar to the actual Crafting Log. I personally have a tough time just deleting or selling materials because "I may need this later". Being able to see that a material is no longer needed for unique crafts would be a godsend!

Edit: If not an option, even just simply including a checkmark next to the item if it's been crafted before would be amazing.

I'm a bit surprised that the checkmark that will show in the Crafting Log for previously completed items doesn't extend to the material search results.

When it comes to keeping or getting rid of materials, unless it's something you know you use on a regular basis I would suggest selling it. It's wasted inventory space (and lost gil) otherwise. Most materials are extremely easy to obtain again if you need them later. The only exceptions I would make are the rare crafting materials that come from treasure maps or creature drops in Coils (as opposed to a loot chest drop).

I know that's the smartest option, and I'm working to get to that point. I'd like to complete all the unique crafts for each job and although the items are easy to get, teleporting to the zone to gather the materials can sometimes be more than what I would have made selling the material in question. Once I can guarantee all the items currently craftable with said material have been made, I plan to toss/sell the materials and hopefully reclaim some much needed inventory space, haha!

I'm curious: How are you dealing with the fact that raw material X might used for intermediate craft Y which then gets used in final crafts Z1, Z2, Z3, and Z4? Because that's my issue with using "Search Recipes Using this Material" to determine whether I'm truly done with a raw material.
