I don't think it's practical when a function just overwhelms you with a ton of recipes on screen.
It's a function that the WoW crafting log has (there's a "Have materials" filter), but then there are far fewer recipes that can be learned by any one character in WoW so scanning would be easier.

Considering some of the changes they've made recently (such as search for recipes that use the material) there's always a chance it's something they may be able to add in the future for items in the player's direct inventory. I don't think it would ever be able to include what's in a retainer inventory, though. Without that, it wouldn't be much use to most crafters.
