Feature Request: Global Search between all systems/romlists
« on: February 20, 2017, 06:18:23 AM »
So we have the possibility to enable the Keyboard search plugin which is really handy (altough sometimes does not seem to give result) to search in a large system collection like Mame for a particular game title.

If you have lots of systems and collections it would be cool to have the above Keyboard search functionallity just not limited to the set you are currently browsing but searching among your whole collection. You should be able to start such a search from any screen.

The result could be simply displayed in a pop up box showing maybe the emulator or system folder its in to be able to identify if which game you are looking at if you have multiple versions across systems of the same game (i.e.: Mortal Kombat Arcade, Mortal Kombat Megadrive etc.) Then you could select one of the entries to directly launch the game with the appropriate emulator.

Not sure if something like this is maybe already considered for a future addition but if not i think this would be a usefull features.

Cheers
