The search function in CB seems very limited. You can only search for stuff based on name it seems. You should be able to search the text of the power, feat, item, or etc as well. It's very frustrating to need to use the compendium to find out what stuff is called if say your looking for feats that effect light blade or some other type. This also brings up another annoying feature of the search which is it goes to the first item to match that spelling. There is no "next" button for search but I was able to figure out pressing ENTER takes you to the next matching item. Also when you get to the bottom of all items matching your search text pressing enter doesn't take you back to the first item it just stays on that item so you can't got "back". Lastly instead of "search", or maybe in addition to it, could there be a "filter" option similar to the compendium? That way if I type say Staff in filter on the feats section it will display all feats that have Staff in the name or text? This would be a HUGE improvement as the number of feats, powers, items, and etc. continue to increase and would make finding stuff a lot easier since people can't remember every feat that synergies with a damage type or item type off the top of their head. And having to alt-tab back and forth between compendium and CB is just ANNOYING! Unless I'm missing something and these options already exist. ;)
