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

dungeons

|- tol dagor

|- motherlode

....

In reply to cortx:

You get more search results if you use the search bar, because using the default search bar sets up a server side filter and because the server only returns a limited number of search results (I think about 30). Contrary to that, the advanced expression filter in the PGF window sets up a client side filter which only filters the truncated list returned from the server.

This is the reason why I always recommend to use the default search bar if you are looking for one specific dungeon on a specific difficulty. I would love to use a server side filter for all kind of queries, but Blizzard provides no function on its programming interface to do that. This is also the reason why there is no dropdown for selecting a specific dungeon. It just would not make sense to do that, because the server side filter is always better (as long as there are more groups than the result limit). Unfortunaltely, there is also no way to increase the result limit. If I could set that to let's say one hundred, the performance would still be perfect and the results would be much better.

I am using my addon a lot to find suitable mythic plus groups and I usually put up either a text search with the difficulty (e.g. "5" if I am looking for about +5) or a specific dungeon search and then use the addon to remove groups that already have a tank.

I hope that shed some light on my dilemma. Feel free to ask more questions if necessary.

how would the synthax for no tank would be? if i tick tanks and set min to 0 and max to 0 it still shows tanks, the synthax in gray is tanks >=0 and tanks <= 0 when it should just be tanks == 0, if i type that on the field it doesnt show tanks but then i cannot use ad or fh or sob or tos or td or wm to select the dungeons i want

In reply to Jooki_Chewaka:

tanks >= 0 and tanks <= 0 is by pure logic the same as tanks == 0 and of course works that way in PGF, too. So immediately after pressing the search button, you should not see any group with tanks in it. If a tank joins the group after the search, the addon does not remove the group.

BUT: please make sure that you always put or-expression in braces to prevent mistakes. If you set max tanks to 0 and just enter ad or fh in the box, this will be combined to: tanks <= 0 and ad or fh which is the same as ( tanks <= 0 and ad ) or fh, which will give you either ad groups with no tanks or fh groups with any number of tanks. But you actually want tanks <= 0 and ( ad or fh ) which is something completely different.

The reason for this is because and is evaluated before or, just like multiplication is done before addition: 2 * 3 + 1 = (2 * 3) + 1 = 7 and not 2 * (3 + 1) which would be 8.

And you can of course always combine different conditions using and, e.g. tanks == 0 and ( ad or fh or sosb ). You can uncheck all marks and just enter that into the advances expression box. You may also use the checkmarks together with the advanced box (automatically combined via and), but remember to put or's in braces.

I would say it's a feature: this gives you the possibility to append an or-expression using "true or <your expression>". On the other hand, players might be confused why their expression do not work. I tend to tell players to always brace their or-expression to prevent such mistakes.

i think if you want do something complicated u should just remove the marks from the gui :-)
i feel like the gui is the pre-filter and the editbox is the filter of the filter (but if u read the hint u have the impression that the editbox override the marks)
and for use "true or ..." you should first know how the query is made... it feels like sql injection :-)

You've got a point. But what about players that already rely on that behavior? I would break their filter expressions if I change that now.

I know my concept of the expression box is complicated. It serves as an additional filter, but also shows the marks filter in gray, which can be confusing. On the other hand, the gray text provides an interactive tool to learn advanced expressions. I just hoped that the players that are really into filters read my FAQ or ask questions here.

Anyone has this issue where filter window sometimes goes behind LFG window? I can't move it, so I have to reloadui.

could we be able to move the frame that appears on the lfg window? it stacks below the raider.io frame and makes it impossible to use

(said the same on the raider.io addon site https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/raiderio)

also, could you include some string that enables us to select a specific m+ keyston number, or a range?

In reply to Jooki_Chewaka:

String search is no longer possible because Blizzards blocks access to the title and description since BfA. However, the search bar above the group listing searches for e.g. +3, +4, +5 if you enter +4.

Never used Raider.IO but will think about making the window moveable.

#bluzzfart being as retarded as ever, one of the reasons i installed your addon was to get rid of them +4 and +6 when im specifically searching a +5.

if you aint using raider.io you should! its the only way to know what degree of +- skill a player has regardless of their itemlevel :)
