SHORT TITLE FOR SUGGESTION/BUG/ENHANCEMENT REQUEST
----------------------------------------------------------------

searchable maps in material/map browser

---------------------------------------------------------------
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF YOUR REQUEST
---------------------------------------------------------------

Provide the ability to search for a specific map in the material/map browser.

---------------------------------------------------------------
WHY THIS REQUEST IS IMPORTANT TO YOU
---------------------------------------------------------------

When merging objects from previously completed projects, sometimes the maps aren't able to be found anymore, so there is a missing bitmap error when the new file is opened. Currently there's no way to find this map in the scene except for looking for it manually in the material browser. If there are thousands of objects in the scene with hundreds of materials, finding one map can be a little dificult, so the ability to search for this map would simplify this task greatly.

This feature could also benefit Vray users looking for raytrace maps that aren't compatible with Vray.
