Premade Groups Filter helps you limit the search results of the LFG Premade Groups tool. You can filter by difficulty or for groups with a specific composition of members, e.g. one tank, no heals and 3 dps. Filtering is done using a separate window next to the list of groups. Advanced users are able to enter powerful filter expressions to find exactly what they are looking for.
Examples of what can easily be found with Premade Groups Filter:
- mythic dungeon groups that still need a healer
- raids that have not yet defeated any bosses and already have more than 10 members and an item level requirement of 850
- PvP groups with an honor level requirement and voice chat

When I'm looking for a premade group, some are listed in yellow text and some in green... what do the different colors represent?
TIA

Hi, is there a way in which i can look for multiple Dungeons at the same time? I tried it with soa/nw for example and i always get an error message. would be super cool to know :) thanks for this amazing addon btw. As an Dps its a bless being able to filter the full dps groups out
In reply to Gizehx:
You could type something like (soa or nw) into the advanced filter box. There are more examples in the comments, the FAQ and the internet. Please note that PGF can only filter the 50 results received from the server but cannot apply a server side filter. So using the search box above the group listing is always better when searching for a single dungeon.
Hi - is there a way to filter by the new M+ score, both overall and dungeon-specific? Thanks for all your work on this awesome addon.
In reply to gr33nzo:
Will integrate it after my holidays if possible!
Update: you can test 2.3.0-alpha which supports mprating and some more keywords
Update 2: now live in version 2.3.1
I want to filter out the f***ing BOE groups. What do I need to type to do that?
In reply to deplete1:
You can’t filter by text, because Blizzard blocks addons from reading the text. Noctisilva suggested age < 30 below as spammers tend to have long running group searches.
what is CHI mean where?

I love the addon, but I'd like it if the filter didn't show up by default next to the lfg winodw. Is there a way to hide the filter until you open the window manually?
In reply to Hitaku:
No, not at the moment. Your may however unlock the window and move it to a position where it suits you better.
Advanced filters for dungeons are not showing all dungeons. I don't know if this is long lasting problem but I noticed it this week. If I put just "nw" in the textbox, I may get 10 NW groups. If I take that off and just search "necrotic" in regular search bar, I can get 30 groups.
I don't know if addon is the one to blame, but something is off and only part of the groups are showing thru the filters. I'd love to use regular search for keynumber and this addon's box for specific dungeon but now I know I'm missing out on seeing majority of the groups thru that technique.
Anyway very useful addon hope you can see if there's anything in addon's end to fix this!
In reply to Ougaa:
For an explanation, please read this FAQ article. When searching for a single dungeon like Spires of Ascension, it is best to use e.g. “15 spires” in Blizzards default search bar. Blizzard detects part of the official dungeon name and filters for it on the server side. You cannot use abbreviations however.
In reply to baerenhard:
I guess I won't need the addon then when searching for a specific key (14 15 16 spires works indeed). Thank for educating me on how the basic LFG works :)
Is there an option to not see the oceania servers? they generate a lot of latency with my connection, ty
In reply to レクイエム:
Yes, install addon Premade Regions. See FAQ and List of Keywords.
For everything that is holy, please add a "WTS" filter. Thanks.
In reply to gfbs85:
I would love to and this was also already part of the addon in Legion, however Blizzard blocked access for addons to group names and comments way back in the BfA prepatch.
In reply to gfbs85:
Blizzard code wont let you search in group names.
However, just add:
age < 30
to the manual filters.
This will filter any group that's older than 30 minutes. WTS groups are usually hours if not days old.
