+- Progress bar (especially important for Signals search)
+- Fluid search
+- Entity search
+- Possibility to search for multiple items/signals/fluids at the same time (such as all "Induction Furnace") - selection is possible with flib styles
+- Producer/Consumer search (for items and fluids)
+- Improve view of results
 
 ## Features
 
 - Recent searches
 - Favorite searches - especially for "Find my car" and similar?
 - Some kind of share feature... Add icon to other players GUI's? "Simon is sharing XYZ with you"
-  - Player specific config to allow sharing of stuff. Maybe even allow sharing from specific people?
 - Aliases? Such as "LTN" -> logistics-train-stop (entity name in this case)
 - Search selector: Select area, show options about what is in that area (transport belt, items on belt, inserters, machines, recipes in machines, inputs, outputs...)
+- Add more results to existing search
+- Filter existing search results, add/remove filters?

 Search for train stop name - Where the hell are all those "Unused" stations anyway?
+GROUP BY functionality? Such as "Find all assembling machines, group by product/recipe" (show grouped-by-thing, count, sum of count property?)
+ORDER BY functionality? Such as "closest" or "highest count"
 WiM integration - click on something in WiM (left/right-click like FNEI) to launch search for producers/consumers with extra filter not-enough-ingredients-of-that-kind
 Handle special items, such as "item with inventory"
