Suggestion:
The '/addent' window gives you the opportunity to search for objects by entering their name. What it doesn't do is letting you search for specific IDs, which is what I'm suggesting.

How would that work?
Say I want to add a gate to my apartment or zone. What I would have to do is use '/addent' and search for Doors - Wheel Gate. If you're familiar with the entire '/addent' list, odds are you probably know the entire list from muscle memory, however, I personally like to use a website to search for objects (https://dev.prineside.com/gtasa_samp_model_id/). This website basically lets you search for objects and then when you found your object, it'll give you the ID of that object. This is exactly where my suggestion comes in handy. If the gate I'm looking for is ID '969', I'd like to search for this ID in the edit box from '/addent'. If this object is then found, it would be displayed as 'Doors - Wheel Gate'.

Straight forward:
Since the entire '/addent' object list is already one huge table, allow filtering on ID instead of just object names. Example: I search for ID 969, Doors - Wheel Gate would show up as the ID of this object matches. I understand some objects are custom modded so those won't work, that is totally fine. This would also help players by showing if a specific object is added to the '/addent' list or not.

Exactly, I fail to see any harm this'd bring. It'd do nothing but make things way easier for those who like building as the objects list is pretty pretty long. Supporting the idea.

 Support the idea because it will make it more simple for mappers to map and search actual IDs.  :tick:

Maybe this could be added as /addent ID too. If ID is an existing object in addent then preview the object, if not, then output an error message mentioning the ID provided isn't in the list. Anyways, positive.

I often have to enter an apartment to select an object just so I know its ID.
That would make things easier.  :tick:

This would be helpful for people who are dedicated to mapping, since it is a waste of time to search for a specific ID object, and I suppose that this should have been around for a long time, since as you know in the Map Editor you have a bar to find an object by its name as well as its ID, and it is a feature that makes mapping easier and faster, so in short, the feature is useful, simple and effective for mappers, so why not add it?  :tick:

POSITIVE Vote for this suggestion even if there are some professional designer still find the names of the addents equipment for the interior or zone so difficult to determine so I support this suggestion. :tick: for me.

I don't see one good reason to downvote such a suggestion. I've been failing to find objects every time I went through /addent, so the website provided in the suggestion helped me to look for objects and their IDs, but I was disappointed when I found out that I can't use the IDs or even search /addent using them, and the objects in the list have different names than the website. This would be really helpful for everyone who isn't experienced enough in using /addent.
