Advanced search in database would be useful #16

I need to find a hardware that supports VK_QUEUE_PROTECTED_BIT, though it seems there is no such request.

Specialized search in VkQueueFlagBits might be useful, though I suppose general site search capability might be useful.

That's true, I'm not happy with the limited search capabilities myself and that's something I want to improve. I'm not sure how to easily add some kind of advanced search, but I'm planning to add something that'll add more search options.

I humbly second that request.

More generally, the ability to search for the reported values of a specific field across the device database would be particularly useful.

Some sort of advanced search, outside of the listings like e.g. for extensions, limits and features, is often requested.

And though this isn't easy to implement I reckon that this is a feature that a lot of users would find useful.

I did a quick prototype for this today, and it's actually feasible. I'm still not sure about the user interface and what search possibilities need to be exposed there, but I plan on making this as flexible as possible from the programming's POV, so new search requirements can be easily added.

With that first prototype I'm already able to select a queue family flag bit and get a list of devices supporting that flag.

There is no ETA on this feature, but i'll definitely add some advanced search functions in the future.
