Items Search Filtering

Hello! Thank you very much for your interest in our plugin:
Items Search Filtering.

Before we continue, we would like to remind you that all of our plugins work within the environment:   
RPG Maker MZ ↔ PC Windows ↔ NWJS

If you use other platforms or devices, we cannot guarantee correct operation because unfortunately we have no way to test them. Please keep this in mind before proceeding.

Below you’ll find more details about what this plugin offers.

Plugin Overview

Platform:RPG Maker MZ

Plugin Details: Items Search Filtering

With this plugin you can add a convenient and modern item search system to your RPG Maker MZ game. It allows players to quickly find any item in their inventory by typing a few letters, instantly filtering the list in real time.

This eliminates the frustration of scrolling through long or crowded item menus, making inventory management much smoother.

Features

  • Real-Time Instant Filtering:

    As soon as the player starts typing, the inventory list automatically narrows down to show only the matching items.



  • Customizable Activation Key:

    You can choose which key opens the search bar (not limited to a single default key). This gives you flexibility to match your game’s control scheme and avoid conflicts with other mechanics.



  • Dynamic Help Text:

    The help window automatically updates its message depending on whether the player is searching or viewing the full list.



Use Examples

  • Games with Large Inventories:

    In adventures where players gather dozens or even hundreds of items, the search function saves time and reduces annoyance. Players can simply open the item menu, activate the search, and type “potion” or “sword” to see only the relevant items immediately.



  • Crafting and Resource Management:

    When your game involves heavy crafting or many consumables, players can quickly search for the exact materials they need without scrolling endlessly. This keeps the gameplay flow smooth and prevents frustration during important crafting moments.

Differences between the Versions

Demo versions are early builds of the plugin. They have fewer features and differ significantly from the full releases. However, they serve as examples: they allow you to quickly grasp what the plugin can do and often provide enough functionality for smaller projects.

Demo versions do not receive direct updates. As they are early editions, their contents have been improved and updated in the full versions. The demos are free to download on itch.io using the “Download Demo” button.

Full versions are the complete releases of the plugin. They include all features and receive ongoing feature updates and constant support. (Remember that support is always provided for the most recent version of the plugin.)

What is a FULL EXPERIENCE MODE plugin?

At Undermax we always want you to have the best experience, and we know that DEMO versions don't always showcase all the plugin's capabilities. Maybe you're unsure whether to buy the FULL version of the plugin. That's why, in some of our plugins, you can download and run a demonstration example of that plugin in its FULL version so you can try it in a closed and safe environment.

This lets you explore in greater detail those features and improvements that the DEMO version doesn't offer.

Keep in mind that the FULL EXPERIENCE MODE only lets you run the plugin in this project and it will not be compatible with other personal projects. This means you wouldn't have access to the original plugin file, which you would receive if you purchased the FULL version.

FULL EXPERIENCE MODE plugins are only compatible with PC devices running Windows, which is the environment we work with.

For more information on this topic, visit our website or contact us directly through our support page: https://undermax.online/undermax/support.html

Hello,

first of all this plugin is great! Now I'm wondering if it is possible to have the same search function for the item scene during a battle. I'm working on a game with a lot of items and even though this plugin is already very helpful there is still this total mess when trying to find an item during battle...

Hello, thank you very much for your message! I can try to see if I can adapt it, but I can't be sure to make it work since they work differently Scenes of objects on the map and battle. I'll give you an answer here if I can get it. All the best!

Thank you very much! Looking forward to it :)

Hello!

I have been trying to get it to work and adapt it for quite some time, but given that the plugin depends on many functions from Scene_Items, its functionalities are not available during battles. (In fact, personally, that's why I usually don't make plugins related to battles because they are a headache.)

I even tried to create another dedicated plugin in an attempt to simulate its operation, but I cannot get it to work properly. Here's a proof of what I have attempted at least xD


But as you can see, the filters are not resetting correctly, and I don't understand why. It's as though the Window Items in battle are not refreshing things once the filter is applied... I'm sorry, but I think I won't be able to fulfill this request. :(

Thank you very much for trying. I really appreciate it. Your dedication is amazing. Top level support <3

Thank you! It's important for me to reciprocate the support in the same way! If I manage to update it in the future or find a solution, I will update it as a devlog!
A big greeting!

Hi

is it compatible with the Visustella MZ plugins? (menu core, item core...)

Hello! Although I generally make plugins for vanilla projects, there should be no compatibility problems. It may require some minor adaptations to fit 100% with your game, but the main functionality should work. Here is a photo of how this plugin works in the most recent Visustella demo. Big greetings!

Cool, I will probably try it and let you know.

Brilliant. I hope it helps you! Happy New Year!

Hi, it's working well so far. Strangely, only bug I've encountered, pressing "W" makes the search bar go away, but the letter is still registered.

Also, it would be awesome if it used the game's font and/or we could control the size of the help text.

Still, it's a wonderful addition to my game. Thank you!

Hello! I'm glad it has been helpful to you. It's very important to me to listen and build trust with our users. I have already updated the plugin version to see if we can resolve the issues you mentioned.

The only thing that catches my attention is the "W" key issue you mentioned, as it hasn't happened to me. What I have done is implement a system that prevents the window from closing if the up arrow is pressed, as some plugins sometimes remap the "W" key to the up arrow, and that might be the problem. You should activate it in the plugin settings.

Remember to update the plugin by right-clicking on the plugin list, selecting ItemFiltering, and Right clicking on "Refresh" to refresh the update and view the new parameters.

I hope you manage to resolve those inconveniences, and I am at your disposal.

Sending you a big hug!

I haven't bought it yet, I just got the notification since I'm following you on itch.io, but I must say, fam, your plugins are really something else. They're original, and somehow when I saw them I'd never realized I'd need those features. AND your work has some serious quality. Thank you and keep up the amazing work <3

Hello!

Thank you very much for your comment. I am truly delighted that the plugins I develop have been helpful to you. I strive each day to design ideas that have not yet been implemented or do not exist for RPG Maker MZ, and above all, to make them user-friendly for developers and provide a better gaming experience for players.

I can assure you that I will continue working on new ideas as they come to me.

Sending you warm regards, and once again, thank you for your support.
