The advanced filters take up nearly my whole screen. Leaving very little room for the search results, which is what I'm looking for.
So a few suggestions:
Reduce the line height in the form boxes. There's about a full line above and below any text you type in, this is really far, far too much, IMO. The text boxes are HUGE compared to the size of the text you enter into them.
Reduce the vertical padding between the form box label and the box by a smidge
Reduce the vertical padding between form boxes by a little bit too.
Place currently used filters someplace they can be seen without the advance filters being open. This is really annoying. I do a search for spells that do fire damage. I have to open the advanced tab, enter 'fire' in the (far too big) damage type box. and hit the filter spells button. This gives me a fantastic results page of all spells that do fire damage. However, it closes the advanced filter section of the header, so I can no longer tell that filter is on.
Here's an example of what I'm talking about. All the selected features in the above screenshot are shown separately from the boxes in which I selected them, which allows me to see all the active filters.
I agree with the overall sentiment here. There is a balance to be struck between information density and effective white-space, and almost every part of the application errs too far on the side of white space. At least for my desktop display. I haven't attempted to use it on a tablet in portrait mode.

I'm a little unhappy with the UI in general. I feel everything is far too big. Especially form boxes in the search pages.
Take a look at the screenshot I took of the Spell advanced search page: https://cl.ly/3N021d10062K
