Faster - or even instantaneous searching of containers and corpses (configurable)
Installation
Copy CactusPie.FastSearch.dll to BepInEx\plugins directory
Settings (F12 menu)
- Search time multiplier - how fast the items will be revealed while searching, based on the original value. By default, it’s set to 0%, which means everything will be revealed immediately. Setting it to 50% will make the items get revealed twice as fast as normally, 25% will make them get revealed four times as fast etc.
- Search initial delay - whether the delay before initiating the search is enabled. Without this mod, when you press “Search” there will be a small delay before items start getting revealed - leaving this checkbox unchecked will disable that delay. Tick this checkbox if you want to restore the original behavior. This delay is independent of the search time multiplier, which means that if it’s enabled it will always take the same amount of time, regardless of the multiplier you set for revealing items.
- Instantly reveal everything - this will combine the two options above and instantly reveal everything. The difference here is that you will no longer need to press the search button. This setting overrides Search time multiplier and Search initial delay and ignores them completely.

Wish there was a mod like this for 3.11
Does anyone know if there is an update for 3.10 coming for this? ²²

3.9.0 + compatible version
https://github.com/dvize/SPT-TypeScript/releases/download/v1.4.0-FastSearch/CactusPie.FastSearchV1.4.0.zip
Yepp, works great for 3.8.0, 3.81 and 3.8.3. I’ve been using this for a long time. The vanilla EFT searching speed is way too slow. Being able to configure the speed to my liking is great. Wouldn’t be the same to play without this mod.
Great work, and thanks for making it!

Works for 3.8.3
I have created a SPT 3.8.1 updated build for my own use:
https://github.com/dvize/SPT-TypeScript/releases/download/v1.3.1-CactusFastForward/CactusPie.FastSearchV1.3.1.zip
probably works on 3.8.0 as well
Any plans to update for 3.8.0? would love to get back time waiting for items to search up
Unlike below comments, I tested the old mod in 3.8.0 (not expecting it to work) and my experience was that the none of the dynamic loot spawns happen (e.g. crates, duffle, etc.) only the statics. Assume this part was reworked in 3.8.0 hence it not working.
Great work btw!
nice work with 3.8.0
@CactusPie, Thanks for the update. Curious, any reason you chose to update it to only 3.7.3 and not the latest 3.7.4? Or does it work for both? Thanks in advance
