I mean...it works exactly as search feature "only in highlighted area" of office programs like Word works.
That’s assuming that each person’s copy of the earrings exists as a separate item, that can be individually renamed.

I may be wrong (particularly given this game’s strange handling of inventory) but I would assume that each person has “item #123” which would be listed in an item database, currently labeled “White Ravens”. If they change that name in the item database, all the individual copies of that item would now display the altered name. You can’t change it for some of them any more than you can change the title of a website for only some of the pages that link to it. All the links point to the same final address.

Surely they haven’t created a system that stores the name of each copy of the item separately, and requires a find-and-replace check on every user worldwide if they want to rename something? (eg. fixing the recent issue with misnamed silvergrace accessories.) How much more data would that take up?
