Description

I have over 100+ tilesets and it's going to keep on growing. Navigating the giant dropdown menu to search for the tileset by name is very un ergonomic even despite them being sorted alphabetically. Please add a search bar to filter the tileset by filename, maybe ability to tag tilesets by keywords would be cool also.

Research direction

Start by locating the editor UI that presents the tileset dropdown and review how its items are populated and filtered. Add a filename search bar whose results narrow the available tilesets, then verify that selecting a filtered result still works; keyword tagging is an additional idea whose scope should be clarified first.
