Add Search to Remap User material ID

Could we please get this search function in the 'remap material ID' menu?

It’s impossible to find anything when you have a lot of materials, it’s a real pain in the ass 🙏

Aaaaand... it's done! 🎉

Guillermo Venegas coded it and it's finally merged in main. It will be part of Blender 5.1

Thanks for the proposal!

It's part of Blender's goal to be able to handle complex scenes, this is part of it.

I've made a design task for developers to pick up. Not sure if it's a "Good First Issue" as it might be tricky, but at least it's there. projects.blender.org/blender/blender/issues/152577
