	Now it's up to you if you always want this to be shown or not, but you WILL be using it. CTRL + SHIFT + F. An idea pops into your head for a mod but you have no idea how go about it? Well, start here. Now my personal recommendation is always start referencing base game and reverse engineering it. If there is text in game or text associated with something you can search for it if you have "loc" checked. Inside that .loc file there will be a multi part key that you can then search for which will lead to more things.

	The "loc" setting will search .loc files, text will search things like .lua scripts, meshdefinitions and DB searches database files. So you can toggle stuff off if you want to lessen the search time, amount of results or to avoid causing RPFM to crash by searching to much. Example of a multi part key "building_chains_chain_tooltip_wh2_main_special_settlement_naggarond". "building_chains_chain" "_tooltip_" & "wh2_main_special_settlement_naggarond" are separate parts, the latter being what you'd want to search for.
