One workflow I have is this: I want to craft an item that uses a material used by others, like Oak Table. I then don't want to accidentally craft anything else that uses Oak, so I would click on Oak and then click through it's craftable items and then hide them all.
I could do it with search in the View/Edit Craftable Items page, but there are a couple of issues:
1. Im already on the Oak page when I'm thinking about this and so it's annoying to come out of that and navigate to the this other page I rarely go to.
2. The search on that page resets the filter after every action. Making it annoying to hide/unhide a lot of things quickly.
3. Searching for Oak, brings up a lot of Cloaks.
