A nice feature would be search for trade resources (or maybe even Techs) under Diplomacy.
When you are running a game with lots of Factions (30+) trying to find resources or a specific tech is a pain. You have to click on each faction, then click trade, then check for value, then click cancel (since esc doesn't work) then click Done (since esc doesn't work). Even if the esc button worked, it still 2 extra clicks x30+.
Where as if you could on the Diplomacy screen identify those factions which have what your looking for. Then I only have to click that/those factions. Would make life much nicer.
