You are agreeing with my point then, item search is useless.
Unless you aren't concerned with with HQ. When I am looking for grinding material, I could care less about HQ mats. I just want to get the bulk materials so I can get to grinding. Hardly useless for me. Seriously, making a mountain out of a molehill. The rest of the functions is supposed to be in before 1.21. Just wait until then to use it if it bothers you that much.
