To start with, EA should look at Better Build/Buy and incorporate everything they're doing into vanilla game. There you have the option to hide cc, and to mark favourites. Without it building is so much harder.
But in addition to this I agree that it would be so useful if you could search for categories as well as the name. It's not like the function isn't already in game - whenever you use the dream house decorator or use the categories on a particular lot type it works fine, so why not just add it in game?
Another pet peeve of mine is the lack of consistency in the style filter. Many decor styles are missing, new furniture are often not given a style at all, and some objects clearly have the wrong style (like everything from Snowy Escape being 'basic' even though a lot of it has a very distinct Japanese style. I do not know enough about interior design styles to know the exact name, but read Kanso somewhere for that clean simplistic style of furniture. I like using the style filters to set a tone for the room or home based on a sim's personality or the time period, but that of course requires there to be one.
Another wish for me would be that objects that go together, like a matching bar to a counter, or matching windows and doors, have the same name so that it's easy to find.
