I implemented a filtering by given substring in the spells window:

Feel free to test it and provide feedback:

Intriguing! The spell list can indeed get very, very long and such a feature is welcome. Perhaps only, this filtering method is rather command-line-like, and filtering by other methods, by spell effect or similar, would be more game-convenient-like?

Hi all,

Very nice feature!
I just can add that filtering by Magic School will be useful. Maybe like on/off pictogram switches for each magic school.

It is a quite hard to distinguish magic schools by pictogramms: they use the same color (red) and quite tricky images.

I can suggest only to use effects/skills icons:

Maybe keep in filter only magic skills?

And also maybe useful to have asc/desc sorting by spell casting chance. But in this case filter GUI may become too complex....

You might want to take some inspiration from how SKSE does things. I'm pretty sure they have a column in the spell list for effect type and clicking the heading of that column sorts alphabetically by effect type.

The spell filter textbox could use a "placeholder" label that says "Type to filter" or something

Maybe it will be useful to have a button to show/hide spells with success chance = 0 (or less some criteria) (especially in combat)?
