Item Search Bars appear in multiple different places in the game, such as at the top of the inventory or the Marketplace. The underlying search algorithm is the same for all of them and it allows to filter by a lot of different things.

Search Fields

The following fields are searched. Behind each field an example is listed. Not all fields apply to every item.

  • Custom Item Name ("My Shield")
  • Default Item Name ("Obsidian Shield")
  • The item slot ("Shield")
    • "Tool" matches all tools.
    • "Jewelry" matches rings and necklaces.
    • "Arrows", "Pendant" and "Quiver" all match the arrow slot.
  • The slot a scroll can be applied to. This includes the skilling sets, e.g. "Foragingset".
  • Rarity ("Uncommon")
  • Affixes
    • The internal path ("defense.health")
    • The affix name ("of the Monkey")
    • The affix tooltip description ("Additional Health")
  • Enchantment Name ("Healing")
  • Set Names ("Protective Plates")
  • Ability Names ("Tank Taunt"). Works for both Equipment that grants you abilities while equipped and Ability Books.
  • Cooking Data
    • Ingredient Tags ("Dairy")
    • Cooking and Alchemy Enchantments ("Superheating" for Chili Peppers)
  • Item Class ("enchanted-scroll")
    • The name of the CSS class that defines the background color of items.
  • Item Tags. See below for a list of options.

Additionally all skill names are also item tags.

Regex

The entered search terms are parsed as a regular expression. The case is ignored for the input and the searched fields. Generally all regex expressions are supported, but the following features are most commonly used:

The most useful regex feature for the search bars is the pipe "|". It is used as an "or" operator, which means that it allows you to search for two different things at once. A good example for this is used in the game itself. If you activate "Show Inventory While Grouped" under Settings -> Combat, your inventory shows in the group tab and it uses "equipment|dungeon|elite|consumable" as the default search term, making use of pipes to show you all items that are likely relevant for combat.

The second one that is used sometimes is the caret "^". It marks the start of a text. When you click on the heat icon in your inventory, "^heat" is automatically inserted into your inventory search bar. The difference to "heat" without the caret is that Wheat is excluded from the results.
