[5e OGL] Am I an idiot? Simple functionality seems non obvious or impossible.

I am feeling pretty dumb here but here goes. Is there a way to search the compendium in game by anything other then the pre-selected categories. If I select spells then type anything after that it seems to ignore it? Can I search for all level one wizard spells for example (in game)? How do you cast a spell at a higher level. The character sheet help seems to indicate it should prompt me when casting a spell like sleep to ask if I want to cast it at a higher level. I cannot get that functionality to work. Or is that not how it work and i have to create an entry at every level I might want to cast a spell at? These seem like such basic functionality questions that should be easily answered but I have been unable to find anything in the wiki or here in the 30 minutes of playing around and searching I did. Thanks for any help.
Ok i figured out the higher level cast thing. It just so happened I was using Sleep as the spell I was testing and it has a Data error. someone entered d8 in the spot where quantity of dice should be specified and no die type was entered. Where does one report errors with SRD data?
> Can I search for all level one wizard spells for example (in game)? Not very easily. First, the SRD does not contain all spells, so there's a copyright issue to consider. Second, that kind of filtering is not supported by the OGL sheet. It is, however, supported by the Shaped 5e sheet, a community effort by Kryx (sheet) and Lucien (companion API). If you are Pro subscribed and use Shaped 5e plus the Shaped Companion API, then yes, you can filter SRD spells by level and class. If roll20 ever broker a deal with WotC to release the PHB as a paid-for compendium add-on, then I expect that Shaped will also learn to display those spells, if the creator of the game has access to the content.

Shawn P. said: Where does one report errors with SRD data? Exactly as you did - but use a title that tells the team it is a 5e SRD/compendium issue with sleep spell formatting.  The compendium text entry looks right though - have you tested to ensure it is an SRD issue?  How did you test?

This is now fixed. Thanks for the report!
Thanks Silvyre! Are those spells draggable from the floating window that comes up to a character sheet?

In Roll20 OGL sheet and shaped sheet you can click add spell and then drag from the SRD listing in-game.
