Notebook search for Players

Dear Roll20 Team! I am writing to suggest the implementation of a "Notebook search possibility for Player's" Roll20, which I believe could greatly enhance the user experience and streamline the process of finding compatible players for tabletop role-playing games. If the Player know the name of an NPC they can search for him and look onto some information they already have. You can already give the NPC's Tags to help yourself to search specific NPC's (like: Military, Ruler, Merchant etc.) but i think it would also be very convenient for Player's to have such a feature. I did create alot of NPC's in my Homebrew World and already Sorted it with the folder. But at one point it gets really difficult to find specific NPC's for my Players (I try to "highlight" NPC's that are important for the moment by putting them as 1st in each Folder. But if you could just search named NPC as player it would make it way easier. I also think that introducing innovative features like the "Player Search Notebook" could attract new users and retain existing ones, positioning Roll20 as a platform that not only facilitates gameplay but also actively supports the community-building aspects of tabletop RPGs I know you are all working together to make it as pleasureable to play on Roll20 as can be and already create many new innovative features. I dont know how hard it is to implement so i am just asking if it is possible to do something like that and giving some pro's and examples. I wish you all a Wonderful Day and thank you very much for reading my suggestion! Greetings, Len B.

Since you are a pro user, you could look at using the Reporter script. It can search all the tokens on a page and return a highly customizable report on the tokens that match those criteria. Attributes on Tokens or on Character sheets are searchable and filterable. I run a campaign set in a small village. It has about 200 named NPCs. I can run a report to find all of the NPCs who are related to a given PC: all of the female NPCs who own businesses All of the halflings, and so forth. The report can be customized to show just the names, the names and brief statblock, the names and token notes, etc. You can click on the portrait or name to ping pull to a chosen token, and much more
