Currently I can filter searching for spells that have different components, or saving throws against specific abilities... I would like to be able to filter spells also to list those that do NOT have a specific component or saving throw, or any.
say I want a list of spells that don't have a saving throw, or a verbal or somatic component, or either of them, is there a way to select that and have I just not found it yet? is there a way to filter spells to show only those that don't have a saving throw?
You can already do negative searches against components: if you click on a component a second time, the green check mark will change into a red X, and that'll search for spells that don't have that component.
I don't think there's a good way to search for spells that have no saving throws, but in practice searching for spells that have melee or ranged attacks is almost the same thing. Most spells will either have an attack roll or a saving throw, but not both.
I just now figured out the negative search in components...completely by accident...and was going to amend my thread...but thank you anyway. for the second point, I still think it would be nice to be able to search for that as well.. and exclude those from the results.. it would show spells like your magic missile and such, no attack roll and no save...

A filter that I have wanted is spell duration.
Searching by AoE type and range would be swell too.
