Here is what I want to do all the time as a DM. I want to select a random monster based off of the first letter in its name across all the source materials. The issue is, the the search bar seems to work as a
Title LIKE '%text I am searching for%'
I am requesting the first implied wildcard be removed and that there is the ability to add them explicitly. So that I can put "Q" in the search and get everything starting with "Q" or "%Q%" and get all things with a "Q" in it. If this is not an option a potentially really simple way of handling this issue is by adding a A-Z Advanced Filter where I can select the letter I want the monsters to start with. This would be a super handy thing for at least the Monster search and I think we could get mileage out of it in other searches too.

Another search option I would like to see is an ability to sort by the type of Damage Delt. Having the ability see the creatures that deal a certain type of damage can help to plan some attacks. If I want to make it easy without being obvious I can give the party potions of resistance and then send the creatures that deal that damage type. Or if I have a party of several Tieflings or Aasimar I want to be sure that I do not make every encounter all a damage type they are resistant to or worse yet make the mistake of sending something like an Ancient Green Dragon against a party that partake of a Hero's Feast.
