I know this topic more appropriately belongs in Technical Discussion, but I've been trying to get an answer there for months without any success.  Anyway, I want to know what happened to the various search command functions that use to be part of the Compendium, notably "or" and "-".  I used to used those commands quite regularly and their loss has made my Compendium use notably more tidies and cumbersome.


  • thunder or lightning: with the filter set to sorcerer when building a storm sorcerer.

  • melee -"two melee weapons": with the filter set to ranger when trying to build a greatsword wielding ranger.

  • "heavy blade" -axe -hammer: when trying to search for a magic weapon that would key into that same character's choice to not wield a maul or greataxe.

These are only a few examples of useful searches I can no longer perform.  At first I thought that the loss of these commands was only a temporary glitch, but it has been months now and the features have not been restored nor have I seen any explanation of why they are no longer available, when/if they will be restored, or even that WotC is aware of a problem.


I've tried on multiple computers so I don't think this problem is unique to me, but I've never been able to find much, if any, outcry on these boards.  Was I the only one who utilized these functions, or am I just crazy and they never existed in the first place?

I'll pass this up the chain and see if I can get some answer for you.

Sorry for the thread necromancy, but has there been any word at all on this.
