This idea is courtesy of Armani, who has implemented it his custom NeoLemmix build.

The Level Select menu currently has a search bar, which allows the user to search the levels by title. The results are displayed and can be clicked to load the relevant level.

Armani's version also allows searching by Title and Style. This could be expanded even further to allow searching by Skills, Talismans and other level properties.

Now that the Search feature is fast and stable, expanding it seems like the obvious next move.

Also, @Armani - I'd be very interested to see how your Search feature works, and if you may have been able to optimise it in a different or better way than I have.

Level Search now filters by Author as well as title.

Implemented in NLCEPlayer commit 47bfebf.

Also, the search results remain open until the user hits 'Close' on the search results panel. This is so that the results can be browsed without having to repeat the same search.

Implemented in NLCEPlayer commit 9000c81.

Filtering by style is also something I'd very much like to add, but would require a slight refactoring of what level info gets stored in the level object itself, as well as adding significant time to the initial search.

Armani - if you're happy to send me a link to your source, I'd be interested to see how you resolve these particular concerns.
