https://factorio.com/blog/post/fff-400 calls the map search "production search", and the Production view is organized by items. Most recipes have the output item as/in the name, so the map search is currently mostly usable as a "where is this item produced?" search, and I think that's how most people use it. However, a few recipes don't, and it's extremely counterintuitive that I need to search for "steam" on Vulcanus to find where I'm producing water, or "coal" to find where I'm producing heavy oil.
