About This File
Search Material is a helper plugin to filter the materials in the Material Manager. Enter part of the name of a material, and all materials which do not match by name will be hidden.
A "Search" menu item is provided in the Material Manager's menu, as a shortcut to activate the plugin.
Unfortunately, it can not be integrated into the GUI as is the search functionality of the Object Manager.
As a workaround you can drag and dock the plugin window into your layout and save it that way for future usage.
Version 0.2 sees the addition of a toggle switch which allows to show or hide the materials matching the entered text.

Note: plugin is written to work with R16 upto R23.
Will probably work on R25, and next (???)
If you download, use, and appreciate this plugin, please consider adding a comment or review.
Any feedback is much appreciated and motivates me to keep providing plugin solutions for the community.
