There's been some kind of change with the last FO76 update that is causing this. I've noticed it and I'm currently working on a solution. I do appreciate bug reports.
Hello, I have a question for you @dtim . I've already asked it on the forums, but I didn't get an answer. https://forums.nexusmods.com/topic/13475500-mod-for-world-map-and-mouse/
Sorry, I have been incredibly busy as of late. I'm not sure if this is possible or not. When I have time, I will try to find out. Based on my current knowledge I would say that arrow keys could probably be made to move the map but I doubt that the mouse could. The real problem would be that the arrow keys already do things on the map screen. Given the way that 76's system works, I'm not sure if you could disable what the arrow keys currently do (it's really annoying and why I have to remap the Quick Map button for instance).
With the changes that were made in the last update, arrow keys are no longer an option. Mouse actually might be, but I haven't had time to experiment with it yet. Just letting you know, it's still on my list. :)
Incomplete names should be working for you right now. Typing "vault" will match things like Vault 76 as well as Vault-Tec University. Or even just typing "vaul" should give you the same result. Sorry if the example I used of "sutton" made this unclear.
Edit: searching for something in the middle of the name also works. "-tec" will match Vault-Tec University and... there's some other location with Vault-Tec in the name but I'm blanking at the moment. I am adjusting description also to try to make this more clear.
Is there a way to activate the search function while a controller is plugged in. To use it I have to go to setting disable the controller and then it responds to f5 being pressed. The game lets you name items with a keyboard while the controller is active was wondering if this mod can do the same ?
Hmm, I'll have to see. I definitely understand the problem, I hate that 76 disables a lot of the keyboard when a controller is plugged in. The built-in things like naming a weapon are done with methods that I can't use (because they are specific to, for instance, naming a weapon and nothing else), so I'll just have to try some things. Thanks for letting me know, I hadn't realized that this was a problem.
Can you help me with a test? On my computer, although the shortcut text disappears when I plug the controller in, the search function still works. If you could try pressing F5 on the map while the controller is plugged and let me know what happens. This may just be a essentially a display bug with the shortcuts disappearing.
Edit: an interesting note is that you probably don't have to remap the Quick Map button if using a controller.
I am currently working on a mod that does that. I actually started working on that one before making this one but it's significantly more difficult. I think it will get released within the next month so.

Thank you very much for this mod.

Related question: Could whatever technique you did to enable this search function also be used with the camp build menu to find items?
