Search by shop name instead of item name

It would be useful to include the inverted "shops" tab, so you could find all items in a particular shop rather than find all shops that sell a particular item. Both are useful, and sometimes they might even be useful in conjunction.

Maybe rename the "Items" tab into "Equipment", rename the "Shops" tab into "Items", and add a new "Shops" tab? Or have two text fields under the "Shops" tab, one for item names and one for shop names (letting you search for both in conjunction when needed)?

This would probably be a better UX if the search box under shops just did a dual search on both the items and the shops files. It can return whatever it finds in 2 different groups, if both show up for your search, or return the appropriate panels.

For instance: If I type hyper into the search, I should get a list of all items that contain anything with the word 'hyper' in their title. If I type dumper then I should only see dumper's depot and its listed items.

However, if I typed something like pla then I should get a third type of UI that displays both items named with 'pla' in them, as well as shops named with 'pla' in them that can be clicked to expand. Platinum Bay is one such shop.

I suggest the UI be something like: list all shop names that match on the top of the results, then list all the items below. If a shop name is clicked, refilter the UI to show only items from that shop.
