Votan's Search Box

by votan · updated 4 Oct 2024

Overview

This add-on enables the build-in search box of the inventory and decorates it, so that it fits the ESO style much better.

Dependencies

- LibHarvensAddonSettings
- LibTextFilter

Description
This add-on enables the build-in search box of the inventory and decorates it, so that it fits the ESO style much better.
This addon can be used stand-alone or with Advanced Filter or FilterIt.
And if you think you don't need a search box using Advanced Filter/FilterIt, you can hide it again with this addon.

The text box does not just filter for the name:

- Name (ZOS)
- Equip type: e.g. Hand, Head, ... (ZOS)
- Style type: e.g. Argonian, Breton, ... (ZOS)
- Set name: e.g. "Shadow Dancer's Raiment" in items of the Shadow Dancer (this add-on since 1.3.0)

Guild bank search box fixes included now.

If you feel dissatisfied with the second main menu entry for "Addons", take a look at Harven's AS to LAM adapter.

Beschreibung
Dieses Addon blendet die im Inventar standardmäßig ausgeblendete Suchmaske ein und passt das Einscheinungsbild an, damit es besser zum ESO Stil passt.
Das Addon kann allein oder mit Advanced Filter oder FilterIt benutzt werden.
Und falls ihr der Meinung seit, dass ihr mit Advanced Filter/FilterIt auch ohne Suchmaske auskommt, kann die Suchmaske mit diesem Addon auch wieder ausgeblendet werden.

Die Textbox filtert nicht nur nach Namen:

- Name (ZOS)
- Ausrüstungstyp: z.B. Hand, Kopf, ... (ZOS)
- Stil: z.B. Argonier, Bretonen, ... (ZOS)
- Set Name: z.B. "Kleidung des Schattentänzers" in Gegenständen des Schattentänzers (Dieses Addon ab 1.3.0)

Wenn Du nicht mit dem zweiten Hauptmenüeintrag für "Erweiterungen" leben kannst, schau Dir mal Harven's AS to LAM adapter an.

To Do
- none

ABOUT THIS LISTING

This page describes Votan's Search Box by votan. The description and screenshots are the author's own, imported from their listing on ESOUI on 26 October 2026: https://www.esoui.com/downloads/info914-VotansSearchBox.html

Mythiq.net hosts no files for it. The download button goes straight to the release file on cdn.esoui.com, so you are downloading from the author's own host, not from a copy of ours.

The download count, rating and comments on this page start at zero and count Mythiq.net only. The source's own figures are not copied here — they measure a different site, and a number that cannot be checked against our own ledger is not worth printing.

Media

Requirements

Game versions
  • 10.2.0
  • 10.1.0
API VERSION

Built for ESO API version 10.2.0, 10.1.0. After a patch the game marks add-ons built for the previous API as out of date; the "Allow out of date add-ons" checkbox in the add-on menu loads them anyway, and most work.

LIBRARIES

Many ESO add-ons depend on a shared library — LibAddonMenu-2.0 above all — which is installed separately, exactly like an add-on. A dependency that is missing shows as the add-on simply not appearing in the list.

CONSOLE

Add-ons are PC and Mac only. There is no way to load them on console.

Installation

1. Download the archive with the button on this page and unzip it.

2. Move the unzipped folder into your add-ons directory:

Windows — Documents\Elder Scrolls Online\live\AddOns

macOS — ~/Documents/Elder Scrolls Online/live/AddOns

3. Start the game, and at the character select screen click Add-Ons.

4. Tick the add-on. If it is greyed out and marked out of date, tick "Allow out of date add-ons" at the top of the same panel.

5. Log in. Most add-ons need a /reloadui after they are first enabled.

UPDATING

Delete the old folder first. ESO loads everything it finds, and two copies of one add-on is the usual cause of "an add-on has produced an error" on login.

This release downloads from cdn.esoui.com, not from us, so there is no checksum to compare against. Scan the archive before you unpack it.
