"Search for tile" feature

[tcoxon]

Working with large tilesets (or a large number of small tilesets) it can be hard to find the exact tile you want.

Being able to name (or otherwise label, tag or textually describe) each tile in a tileset and then search for tiles by name would go a long way towards solving that problem.

This shouldn't be too hard to implement, I think I might try and solve this one.

@tcoxon You can already tag tiles through adding extra custom properties to them. I'll try and implement something that will search through the properties to find tiles.

Any word on whether this feature is going to be added? My project currently has access to thousands of tiles and objects, so having no way to search for them is really slowing down the work.

@ArmagonNo1 At the moment I'm trying to focus on getting Tiled 1.0 released, so I'm shrinking the list of open issues on the milestone and will be writing documentation. Only reviewing pull requests and fixing bugs has higher priority.

If nobody else will work on this, I could prioritize it sometime after May. Of course, if you are a Tiled sponsor I can also spend more time on issues important to you.

I'd love to see such feature as well. Currently i have over thousand tiles in my project. Searching for them is very painful. Option to add tags to tiles and then filter by tag would be great.

I would highly recommend to have such a feature! Would love it.

For now a tileset(not individual tiles) search would be nice considering navigating via the drop down menu is very tedious. Sticking a search bar above the tileset tabs and jumping to them would do the trick
