How to Use

Press Ctrl+Space (the default Search Bar keybind, changeable during the tutorial or in EasyFind options) to show and focus the search bar, type what you want, then select a result. Press the keybind again or click anywhere outside EasyFind to close it.

Features

Main Search

Search across:

  • UI panels, tabs, options, addon settings, and Blizzard settings.
  • Achievements, statistics, titles, reputations, currencies, talents, abilities, and spellbook entries.
  • Mounts, pets, toys, transmogs, outfits, heirlooms, gear sets, macros, bosses, loot, bag items, and housing decor.
  • Zones, dungeons, raids, delves, services, travel points, rares, and other map destinations.

Supported results can do more than just open a panel:

  • Mount up, summon pets, use toys, equip outfits, run macros, and cast or use abilities directly from search.
  • Shift-click supported abilities from results to drag them to action bars.
  • Use consumables, equip gear, or Ctrl-click supported bag items to open and highlight the item in your bags.
  • Open boss and loot entries in the Encounter Journal.
  • Guide to collection entries, favorite pets, rename pets, and open supported collection tools.
  • Open map destinations in the Map Search tab and track or preview them from the world map.

Map Search Tab

Search from the world map with nested results built for location-first browsing:

  • "This Zone" shows matches on the map currently being viewed.
  • "Across the World" groups broader matches by continent and zone.
  • Hover map results for POI previews, navigate between zones, place pins, and track destinations.
  • The same map results can also be found from the main search bar, just without the nested map layout.

Search Tools

  • Right-click menu: Every result has a context menu.
    • On every result:
      • Pin: Keep it visible before typing.
      • Shortkey: Bind a key that opens or uses the result instantly, without opening the search bar or taking up action bar slots.
      • Add Alias: Add your own search terms. Aliases are shared between normal search and map search where applicable.
      • Blacklist: Keep a result out of every search. Restore it any time from the Blacklist tab in the options menu.
    • On most results:
      • Guide: Walk to the result with step-by-step highlights.
      • Send link: Share a clickable link in chat (Say, Yell, Party, Instance, Raid, Guild, a whisper, or a link box you can shift-click into any chat message).
      • Wowhead link: Copy-ready Wowhead URL.
    • Row-specific extras, for example:
      • Achievements: objective tracking.
      • Currencies: backpack pinning and currency transfer.
      • Reputations: watched-faction toggle.
      • Pets: summon, rename, favorite, cage or release.
      • Transmog sets: favorite toggle.
      • Bag items: destroy.
  • Guide mode and direct open: Learn where things live with step-by-step highlights, or open supported destinations directly.
  • Quick filters: Type @ to search within a category such as pets, mounts, bags, macros, abilities, achievements, statistics, bosses, gear, currencies, reputations, talents, titles, collections, or map results.
  • Slash-command results: Type / in the search bar to search slash commands: EasyFind commands such as /reset and /options, WoW commands such as /reload, and emotes such as /hug.
  • Calculator: Type math directly into search, including arithmetic, trig functions, and factorials, or open the full calculator with Alt+C.
  • Keyboard control: Use arrows, Enter, Tab, Alt+number row shortcuts, or Alt+H/J/K/L navigation.

Options

Configure:

  • Themes, window opacity, icon visibility (all, general only, or specific only), and the blacklist.
  • Search behavior, visibility mode (auto-hide, hover show, or always show with combat options), result placement, visible row count, window border, fonts and font size, and Alt+number hints.
  • Map Search behavior, map pins, icon sizing, tracking, recent searches, and result categories.
  • Aliases, keybindings, indicator style/color, search window sizing, and reset tools.

Examples

  • talents opens or guides to the Talents panel.
  • 3v3 finds Rated Arena.
  • @pets beetle searches pets only.
  • calculator shows the full calculator launcher.
  • sin30 + 12/3 shows an inline calculator result.
  • nexus can find map results and open the Map Search tab.

Commands

  • /ef or /ef o: open EasyFind options.
  • /ef clear or /ef c: clear active highlights, guides, pins, and map indicators.
  • /ef reset or /ef r: reset the search position and size after confirmation.
  • /ef setup: run the tutorial again.
  • /ef bug: show the bug-report link.
  • /ef feature: show the feature-request link.

Search-bar commands are also available by typing / directly in the EasyFind search bar.

Keybinds

Two binds ship enabled by default, account-wide: Ctrl+Space (Search Bar) and Ctrl+M (Map Search Tab). If one of these keys is already bound to something else, EasyFind's bind takes precedence while it is set; your existing bind is not cleared and works again as soon as you rebind or remove EasyFind's.

Change or remove them in EasyFind options. Available binds:

  • Search Bar
  • Map Search Tab
  • Clear All

Languages

Fully translated into English, German, French, Italian, Spanish (EU and Latin America), Korean, Portuguese, Russian, and Chinese (Simplified and Traditional). The addon follows your game client's language automatically; anything missing a translation falls back to English. Translation fixes are welcome through GitHub issues.
