Search

The top right corner of the window's title bar has the search box.

Clicking a search result opens it in a new tab.

TIP

Search terms are not case sensitive.

Searching Individual Entities

Searching Entries

This box searches all Entries, looking across these fields:

• Name
• Tags
• Description
• Topic
• Type
• Species for Characters
• Parents (and grandparents) and children for Locations/Organizations
• Names and roles/relationships of related Entries

So, searching for "Sally sibling" would return an entry with a relationship of "sibling" to a Character named Sally. That result would be lower on the list, though, than Sally herself.

Branch Search Behavior

Branches have a special search behavior: they only appear in results when the query matches both the organization name AND the location name.

For example, searching for "Magic" won't find "Magic Society (Waterdeep)" unless the query also includes a term matching "Waterdeep". This prevents branches from overwhelming the search results whenever just part of the name happens to match.

Searching PCs

The search box also searches across PCs. It looks across:

• Name
• Background
• Plot Points

Searching Fronts

The search box also searches across Fronts. It looks across:

• Name
• Tags
• Description
• Details of all of the dangers
  • Name
  • Description
  • Impending Doom
  • Motivation
  • Grim Portents
  • Participants (the name of the entity)

Searching Arcs

The search box also searches across Arcs. It looks across:

• Name
• Tags
• Description
• Locations, participants, and monsters (the name of the entity)
• Lore (text of the lore)
• Vignettes (text of the vignette)

Searching Sessions

Finally, the search box also searches across Sessions - but in a subtlely different way. It looks across:

• Session Notes and the Session Start text
• Session items - BUT ONLY IF THEY'RE MARKED AS DELIVERED
  • Lore, Vignettes (text of the lore/Vignette)
  • Locations, NPCs, Items, Monsters (the name of the entity)

Only delivered items are searched because this provides a really easy way to answer things like "what session was that when we fought the Goblin King?" If you had attached the Goblin King to multiple sessions, but he ended up not appearing in all of them, this will find where he actually appeared.

WARNING

A side effect of this is that things in the Current Session likely won't be found (since they aren't delivered yet). But you should have a pretty good idea of what's being used in the Current Session, and you can easily pull it up in any case.

Searching Tags

If your search text matches one or more tags, the matching tags will appear at the top of the search results, along with the number of entities with that tag. Clicking this "tag" result will open the corresponding tag list
