A filter system to filter out spells you don't want to see. For example if you want to know all the spells that dont require vocal components or if you want to filter out all the spells that are on bard's spell list or if you dont want any concentration spells to ahow up. Good example why this would be useful is for example if you get magical secrets as a bard and you want to choose spells that you normally can't get.
One minor thing that bothers me is that when I order things by level and then add another filter or anything like it, it unsorts by level, that was an issue for me albeit not a big one, that and the fact that it is not an app(at least yet) Oh and the first issue was when using it on pc, not sure if the same thing happens on mobile
You are both correct - they are missing, but it's intentional. Only the spells from free content, Basic Rules (SRD), are currently available on the DBB beta. You can find some more information in the Developer Quotes link in my signature.
One thing i think would be better would be to move the Spell Type (E.g. Illusion, Evocation etc) from the more filters onto the general filters. I know a lot of my players like to build themed spell casters. More an ease of access thing then a bug or anything else :).
I think it would be great if once advanced filters were on they stay on for that section, instead of needing to be opened again each time it refreshes.
There are some monk ki abilities in the Way of the Four Elements that basically just say you cast this and that spell from the list of spells. It might be nice if Monk was added to the classes you can sort spells by. I know there aren't really that many, but it would be helpful in the decision making process when choosing elemental abilities to be able to very quickly find these spells.
It would be wonderfull to allow user to enter '0' in 'Spell Level' field at dndbeyond.com/spells to show cantrips. Right now the one must enter 'c' for cantrips. I know that technically cantrips aren't zero-level spells, but it's better to allow this litte unorthodoxy in favor of usability. Sounds like no big deal, but sometimes you go to dndbeyond.com/spells page with clear idea of looking for cantrips and you're ready to hit '0' and you can't. Loosing about 0.6 second to hit right button.
If you scroll 'Spells' page a little bit and then hit 'Show Advanced Filters', the page jumps back to home position. It is very little and pretty irritating detail, just like in webpages of old time. I'd love to see it fixed.
Conjure Woodland beings - 4th level spell. It uses the term 'GM' when I thought that ’DM' was the standard? Just a small thing.
Actually, that might be an SRD-ism; Dungeon Master is, if I recall correctly, a term that WotC trademarked.
Which would why official D&D books say "Dungeon Master" and all OGL books, and books for other games, say "Game Master" or some other even less similar title (I prefer the ones that are themed to the game, like "Keeper" in Call of Cthulhu and "Marshall" in Deadlands).

Ah, of course - thank you! I corrected my post above. :)
Will there be a listing of spells for other classes such as Eldritch Knight and a listing of cantrips?
During the beta test of D&D Beyond, we'll only be including content that is freely available in the D&D 5th edition SRD and D&D 5th edition Basic Rules and will not include additional content from a Commercially Released Book or Supplement.
All of the remaining published content from the PHB, DMG, MM and other D&D 5th edition books will be added to D&D Beyond for product release - the cost for accessing this material has not yet been announced.
I'd like to be able to filter by ranged / touch attack, just like I can by saving throw type. It probably can go in the same drop down, since they all are mutually exclusive.
I'd also like to see a filter for whether or not the spell requires an attack roll. Combined with the existing save filters lets you know what spells are unaffected by low caster stat
YES !! we need this . and whats up with the Combat tag ..... it doesnt have anything

It would be great for spells with verbal components to allow a DM to specify the word or phrase associated with the spell.
Just a quick note, I noticed the some of the Ranger spells such as Beast Sense and Cordon of Arrows is still missing.

In the spell listing the Components could indicate what they mean even a hover on a V with a

would be helpful.Hello DnDBeyond!
