Someone actually suggested the ability to search for scripts here: https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/85176/

Actually, no. It's 3 supporters and 4 or 5 non-supporters so far.
Oh. Ok.

But those opinions were before I stated my reasons. So they could be outdated.

Support, and for anyone who is saying, “just use comments” you can't use comments to search for a specific script out of say 100 scripts. Using comments would take a long time to look for something, and just searching for it is a better idea.

Well we still have a high chance since we now have 5 supporters.

I'd actually like this, assuming that:
- you can search for the named scripts
- the script names show up in the backpack
- you can stop specific scripts

Would the names be checked against all other names in the sprite or project? e.g. if you added a script for one sprite called “main loop”, could another sprite also have a script called “main loop”?

And all the world over, each nation's the same,
They've simply no notion of playing the game.
They argue with umpires, they cheer when they've won,
And they practice beforehand, which ruins the fun!

You use a different comment for every script. So if you are looking for Script 59, it will be a specific comment.

But with comments you can't do this

Yes! Multiple sprites can have scripts that share the same name, but scripts sharing the same name cannot be in the same sprite.

Support. I think this would be really useful, especially for
high used animations. Also, for those who keep mentioning the way to add a comment to a script. This wouldn't work with the whole reason we need it. Go here for more info.

Couldn't you do that with a variable? No support, this feature doesn't really have a use.
Actually it would have a use for features like these:

Ability to start specific scripts or sprites
Ability to stop certain scripts or sprites
Ability to pause scripts or sprites
Ability to speed up or slow down scripts or sprites

Then why stop there? Make blocks for the features.

it could also make it easier to go to certain scripts quicker

The comments system is terrible (no offence) and I have never used it. Plus in most programming languages there is only one script, so this would continue to build up the barrier between Scratch and say, Python / Java.

Why would you want this system anyway? You can just use broadcasts for each name, so broadcast myScript would be part of myScript.

Why would you want to be able to tag scripts? Because

stop [sprite1 v]

and

stop [script1 v]

are both dupes.

This sounds a bit awkward to use. I'd personally prefer using custom blocks to name scripts.
