Great mod, a storage solution that doesn't demand redstone or quartz to start using it.

But it does have a usability issue that's just a bit behind most other offerings: It requires that I first search in the controller GUI for the item I want, and then exit that interface and go open the rack the item is stored in.

Feature Request
Add an upgrade that allows direct access to/from the storage network

At the moment that is indeed the intended way. (For performance reasons). What do you think about an upgrade that will open the rack with the item in it directly, instead of locating?

I think that gathering stuff for a build would be problematic, requiring a lot of opening and closing, which is a part I would like to eliminate with the use of a storage system.

Agreed, would love to be able to just grab it right from the interface.
