Spell Library Search Filter for All Fields (Extension) for 5E
This extension is obsolete.
Please use this extension instead.
Announcing an update to the release of an extension that adds search filters for all spell editor fields.
Update released on October 31, 2017 (version v0.1.0).
which has been tested for compatibility with Fantasy Grounds v3.3.3 (on Oct 31, 2017).
The standard search filters for the Spell Library included in the 5E ruleset are for the Level, Ritual and Source fields. This extension adds search filters for the additional fields Casting Time, Components, Duration, Range, and School. (The Summary and Description fields aren't supported.)
As I develop and add new spells to the Spell Library I find myself constantly searching through the Player Handbook spells for textual descriptions of these other fields so that my text in the field is consistent with Fantasy Grounds text. For example: which of the following should I use in the Casting Time field: "1 Action", "1 action", "One Action", or "One action"? This tiny, quick-and-dirty extension allows me to use the search filter drop down to see all the current values Fantasy Grounds uses for a particular field.
Would you use it during game play, probably not. In the development of a new character, maybe so: show me all Evocation spells (use the School field)! And as a DM you might find it handy in the development of new spells.
Here is a screenshot of the Spell Editor (showing the fields) and the Spell Library Editor (showing the added search filters).

Install the extension as you would any other (instructions).
Load a 5E campaign and choose the Spell Library Search Filter for All Fields Extension.

While writing this up, it dawned on me, that a search function for the Description field is a must, at least for me. When I was developing EoSSE I had to look at every single spell description for "half damage". It was tedious - fortunately I scanned my paper copy of the PHB to pdf, so it was searchable, but still! A search filter for that field would be nice. I'll work on it...

On September 19, 2017 Fantasy Grounds v 3.3.2 was released.
On September 20, 2017 I verified that this extension is compatible with that version. I also did a code compare as Trenloe suggests to ensure compatibility.

Thanks. I'm glad you like it.
I'm working on adding the "search description field" filter now. If things go well, I should have it ready soon.
Afterward I'd like to expand the functionality to some of the other library editors.

I'd like to expand this to some of the other editors, are there any suggestions for which one (or ones) you might like to see supported? The NPC editor is pretty daunting (so many fields), though it's probably a good candidate.
