Enhanced Searchability
by mrmelon54
Enhanced Searchability gives search boxes and selector screens to several vanilla menus, including the creative inventory and the multiplayer list.
What it does
Enhanced Searchability adds search fields to screens that normally have none, so players can filter long lists by typing. The extra search bars appear in menus where scrolling through many entries becomes slow, and the resource pack and datapack selectors gain their own search boxes as well. A dedicated screen lists resource packs and datapacks, with filtering built in.
The multiplayer screen also receives a search bar, which helps when a player keeps a long list of saved servers. The mod is a client-side addition: only the client needs it, and servers run without it. It requires Fabric Loader and Fabric API on the Fabric build, while the Forge and Quilt builds have their own loader dependencies. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and Quilt across eight game versions, 1.19 – 1.20.4, and the code is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only.

Use cases
Who it’s for: The mod suits players who install many resource packs, datapacks or servers and want to filter those lists. Because it is client-side only, it can be added to any single-player or multiplayer client without changes on the server.
How it compares
Enhanced Attack Indicator is a client-side Fabric and NeoForge mod released under the MIT License, with files for 1.16 – 1.21.10, so it targets a different screen from this one. Split Shulker Boxes runs on both client and server, is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 1.19.4 – 1.21.3, and is licensed under the MIT License, so it needs installing on every player's side and the server. Green Screen Mod is a Forge-only mod for 1.12.2 – 1.19.2 with client and server environment under the Apache License 2.0 and is not open source.
