Hey, first of all woho! I love the idea of this and I love that WotC have decided to make this a thing, definitely a step in the right direction.
However, while the search engine looks good and has all the content I could possibly need in it, it feels abit clunky and slow.
At the moment I use http://thebombzen.github.io/grimoire/ to search for spells and it's superquick and easy to use. Is it possible to refine the search engine so that it functions as smooth as this? if not, fair enough. If yes, everything I need would be on this site!
For me the search engine would feel much more dextrous if it would update instantanous to my choices of filtering. Let's say I wanted to find a +2 magic item and I click +2 out of the 1-2-3 to the right. Wouldn't it be fantastic if as soon as I pressed +2, the list instantly filtered out the 1's and 3's leaving me with a long list of +2 items I could then further filter!
Now I have no idea how to make that happen and therefore I don't know if it's a reasonable change to expect, but what do the rest of you think?
It is a beta, so keep that in mind. That being said, resource caching and some other things have been brought up that could speed up the site. Keep the feedback coming though, especially if you find something that is particularly slow or clunky.
