Inventory Item Search – Not Enterprise-Ready

Current Behavior

• Item selection supports only first-letter keyboard filtering

• No full-text search

• No filtering by Item Type (Ingredient / Intermediate / Consumable)

• Heavy mouse dependency

Observed Impact

• Inventory lists exceeding 300–1000 items become impractical

• High friction during recipe creation and stock entry

• Increased selection errors

• Poor experience for professional operators

Industry Benchmark (Toast, Lightspeed, Oracle MICROS, Square)

• Full-text, real-time search (contains match)

• Type/category filters within dropdowns

• Keyboard-only selection workflow

• Recently-used item memory

Requested Enhancements

• True full-text search (not prefix-only)

• Filter by Item Type

• Keyboard navigation (↑ ↓ Enter)

• Performance-optimized search for large datasets

This is a baseline expectation for modern POS inventory systems.
