Hoffe du hattest Erfolg. 
Basically, you enter 'search id' into the console and select a directory and you get a list of prefabs containing the corresponding block.
Preview (v0.44):
- added option for level of detail of symbols and texts
- added global search feature
- added advanced block search
- fixed: wrong texture id (concrete dark grey <->concrete grey)
Advanced search (very basic atm but it's already useful):
Not sure if I need a more advanced 'advanced search'^^. Probably yes. I think there should be a way to all properties into account (id or block name, rotation, meta and so on) not just the block id...
Partially done! Hope you read this Magoli. ^^ I have added a global block search feature and a framework for further global functions. Ofc it's not available to you atm.

Sorry, I've missed this post. Not sure what you. Afaik there is a similar feature but it's quite buggy...

What I was asking about was loading a 2d image file like this:
...and being able to load it UNDER your program gui as a semi transparent image I could scale, and it would allow me to place blocks in your editor over the semi transparent image for accuracy.

Yes, I too have not seen any more crashes from this, and I just edited 80 prefabs so I think you found it.:chuncky:
Thanks!
(by the way, i have never seen more the crash with adding/removing rows/columns)

Yeah, np. Your suggestion make sense and it is time to implement a powerful search...

I doubt it but we have support for logfiles now, so there's a chance to crush the bug one day.^^Yes, I too have not seen any more crashes from this, and I just edited 80 prefabs so I think you found it.
Probably in one of the next updates... I'll do my best. It depends on the bugginess of the current implemention of this feature.
We are very close to the release of 0.44. So that's the latest and perhaps the last preview screenshot. In 0.44 you can 'copy' blocks to the search tab pressing ctrl + middle mouse button (or you can use the 'copy to search' button on the set tab). I've added two scope radio buttons to the set tab ('grid view' and 'search list') allowing the user to edit selected blocks from the search list:

Ok just wondering if this Editor is Broken? I click on blocks and it only shows me the block ID's.
Trying to just find the Doors is a pain, and your older versions were alot better when you zoomed in to a certain spot it actually showed some graphics just to let you know where the doors were located at and that helped a huge deal. Also still having issues understanding the META part. I figured out that a number 4 locked the doors. Should be Descriptions on each number and what they actually do.
But PLEASE.... Make it so when you click on a block it tells you the actual Block Name and not just the Block ID.
Thank You for this also

Mhh I haven't removed any of these features, so I guess the game directory is not correctly specified. Please click on 'Extras' -> 'Set game directory...' and make sure that the text field is not empty:
There are descriptions but the underlying feature is a bit buggy ... I need to fix this.

Glad to read that you've understood everything. ;p But seriously, let me know if something is not clear. The concept of the gui is a bit inconsistent atm. and needs an overhaul. So being confused would be normal.^^sounds amazing - i havent understood nothing, but iam sure it will be a practical and powerful function.
iam looking forward to the 0.44 version
rock on buddy
Update time!
Changelog v0.44
- added level of detail settings to options. Smaller values mean more details if zoomed out.
- added search features to the search tab. Explanation see below.
- added button 'clear' to edit tab and search tab. The Clear button will clear all text fields.
- added button 'copy to search' to the edit tab. The button copies the block data to the search tab.
- added scopes 'grid view' (default) and 'search list' to the edit tab. If you want to edit selected blocks on the block grids then select 'grid view' and if you want to edit selected blocks from the search list (search tab) then select 'search list'.
- added console commands:
help: shows a list of available console commands.
search: enter 'search ID' to get a list of prefabs which contain blocks with this id. Example: 'search 1' prints a list of prefabs containing stone blocks (id of stone is 1). This command will close your currently loaded prefab!
- changed max. length of console output to 5000 lines
- fixed: concrete texture has wrong texture id
How to use the search tab
1. Enter the block data: You can directly enter the data into the text fields of the search tab. This might be difficult though because atm. there is no feature showing you the meaning of the entered numbers. I recommend to enter the block data into the edit tab. Then you can use 'copy to search' to copy the data to the search tab.
If you want to copy the data from one of the blocks in the grid view to the search tab, you can use the block picker tool. Press 'CTRL + Middle Mouse Button' to copy the block beneath your cursor.
2. Define the search criteria: Use the check boxes to determine which criteria are taken into account.
3. Press search button to start the search.
4. You get a list of coordinates representing blocks that satisfy the search criteria. Click on items in the list to show the blocks (press ctrl + left mouse button for multi selection). You can edit selected blocks by changing the scope in the edit tab to 'search list'.

Search Feature request:
Current - When I search for a block, it lists several instances of that block, but I can only choose one at a time to edit.
Request - Multi selecting the search results to allow me to edit the selected ones at once.
...basically I want to swap out all instances of block ID 1436 to block ID 0.
(that ability may be in, but I don't know how to use it)
Request: When searching for blocks, I'd like to hit ENTER to search for the ID's, rather than having to click "Search Block".

Hey Pille. Haven't updated your editor in some time as I've been on break from playing. Did you ever look into the random gen mazes and dungeons like Hal's had?

@Guppycur
Mhh again:
left click - Select block from the list
CTLR + left click - Is for multi selection
CTLR + right click - Show block on the grid without selecting it
CTLR + A - Select all blocks
SHIFT + left click - Some kind of multiselection

Atm. you can only replace blocks. You cannot change all block IDs 1436 to 0 and all air block to ID 1436 within one single step.
Ok, perhaps not too hard to implement.
Ok, thanks for the report.
That's basically another bug. You should get a warning.
What do you mean 'whenever the tab is loaded'?
@Spectral Force
Yeah but it's still not implemented yet, sorry. Read my two weeks old reply:

Maybe you're just getting old. ;p
That's a nice suggestion. I am going to add a checkbox for it.
Edit:
Although, it makes the GUI even more complicated because it introduces a further concept... ^^
Editing blocks should automatically update the search tab. I think that would be the most 'natural' solution.

@Pille or GuppyCur. I have an issue with the Tools/Advanced window. Whichever resolution my pc is set at (it is normally at 1360 x 768), the Exchanger window is too big for the screen. I have to keep switching to higher display resolutions over and over to get one that works, and when I do, all other windows (eg, browser windows) are now fuzzy. I then have to switch resolution back again to see my browser windows properly. Obviously this is a bit of a pain. Is there any way you could make that "Exchanger" window resizable? Thanks!
