I use the "Search Everything..." box all the time to jump to things I know that exist.
So if I want to see the details for the spell "Expeditious Retreat" I want to type "Expediti" in the Box and the suggestion should not only suggest "Expeditious", but already know that there would be a possible hit names "Expeditious Retreat" and that is is a spell. When I click on the suggestion in the box shown below the search box, it should not fill the search box but take me directly to the page with the spell details.
I know that some suggesting filters (my experience base on using elastic search, which may be my guess what may be used here) need a bit of work to give the desired results, but this would make using dndbeyond SO MUCH FASTER.
Thanks :)
(And I can't imagine I'm the only one mentioning this and may have not found the right area to write this... please point me to the right place, if some other place would be more effective.)
Oh boy, I was just about to make a post on this. i am also facing this minor frustration.
I have been actively using Dnd beyond for the past 3 months and I avoid using the search function because its almost more work than going to source book and looking at a table of contents.
'Chainmail' is an example of a search that brings up every reference of chainmail when I am instead looking for chainmai stats. The specific term they use is 'chain mail' in PHB. I know a search index is a lot of work. How google does it is beyond me. What can we do to help?
