Finding items for the first time?

[Starr_Man5]

Hey guys (and girls!), quick question;

When I want to add something to my route for the first time, be it an item; a spline; some track; trackside details or whatever, is there any way of locating said item without trawling through the vast selection on offer?

I found myself hunting down something last night for what seemed like hours, to the point that I was genuinely getting dizzy.
I tried typing into the "find item" field but this appears to just find items which are already on my route?

In the end I had to scan through a load of the pre-installed routes that came with my game to look for it (can't remember what it was now, oddly enough!) before finding it and using the "get item/spline/object" tool. Then I knew were it was and went back to my own route and located it.

Surely there must be an easier way?

(I'm currently playing TRS2004)

if you know what it is or can have a guess at the name, then type it into the item window box at the top of the items list.

Thanks Captain_Collins, I must give that a try.

Hi
To add to 'The Captain's' advice.
If you don't know the name just enter the first couple of characters, IE, If your looking for a type of track end just enter 'track e'; or a house enter 'h'. The entries are in alphabetical order so just scroll down the H's.
Of course. it may come under Terrace House 'T' so it can be hit & miss.
Cheers
