In NEI when I search for an item it now searches all item discription as well... For instance when I search for "generator" it brings up everything that has generator in the tooltip, 4 pages of crap...

What hotkey did I press to mess this up? I tried deleting the nei.cfg files and that didn't fix it...

Thanks in advance, and yes I realize I screwed it up :) NEI is actually wonderful

I believe that is how it should function. Specifically, the "description" of the item is a part of the name, normally. I do not know if there is a way to remove this functionality. When searching for a generator of a specific type, I normally use something other than "generator". This is the case with only a small number of things.

The only place I can remember it searching that way is generators, and I cannot remember it searching otherwise. Hopefully I am incorrect and someone else will have additional data on the situation.

You could also try not "generator" but "generator ", with a space at the end. This will still show you all the different generators (assuming that you can see the block and item IDs), but shouldn't return things with "(Generator)", i.e. things that can be burned in one.
