Rulebook Search
Search across every rulebook this campaign has enabled and get back a ranked list of books, printed page numbers, and highlighted excerpts. The referee sees results from every enabled book; a player — anonymous, not-logged-in visitors, since this app has no separate player-account system — sees only the subset of enabled books also marked Player Searchable on the Library page.
- Search field
- Enter a word or short phrase, e.g. jump drive. Results update automatically as you type, after a short pause. Matches are found against the cleaned, searchable text extracted from each rulebook — not the exact wording of your query, so results include grammatical variants of your search terms.
- Rulebook / Edition / Category filters
- Narrow results to a specific book, edition, or category. Only enabled — and, for players, player-searchable — rulebooks appear in these lists.
- Results
- Results are grouped by rulebook, ordered by that book's strongest match, and collapsed by default — click a book's title to expand it. Within a book, each hit shows the page it was found on and a highlighted excerpt of the matching text. Weak, incidental matches on a common word are excluded automatically. A page showing Unnumbered page has no real printed page number — a cover, a blank page, or similar — and is identified by its position in the PDF instead.
Only the first few hits per book are shown initially. If a book has more matches than that, an ellipsis appears at the bottom of its result group — click it to load the rest.
