NEW FEATURE: Searching by set bonuses

To search for sets by their set bonuses, click the dropdown arrow to change the search mode to "Search by set bonuses".

You do not need to fully spell things out. You can search for "Weapon Critical" by simply typing "weap crit". (However, spelling out more of the term can help with disambiguation; for example, "mag" will match "magicka", but it will also match "damage", whereas "magi" will only match "magicka".)
You can search for multiple bonuses, if they are separated by either a comma (",") or a plus sign ("+"). For example, a search for "mag rec, spell dam, max mag" will match all sets that have magicka recovery, spell damage, and max magicka. As another example, a search for "weap crit + max health" will show all the sets that have both weapon critical and maximum health bonuses.
Alternatively, you can exclude a set bonus by using the minus sign ("-"). So if you change "weap crit + max health" into "weapon crit - max health", then you will be shown a list of all the sets that grant weapon critical without any maximum health bonuses.
The search will match even if there are intervening terms, and it also follows the ordering. For example, a search for "spell damage" will match bonuses that say "Spell and Weapon Damage" (the "and Weapon" does not disqualify the match), but it will not match "damage from enemy spells" (since "damage" in this case comes before "spell" instead of after).

Thanks for the update to this. I keep recommending it to my guildmates so they will stop asking me where sets drop and what the bonuses are.

I read the thread and understand the pain and misery that this would entail, but... do you have any plans on adding "boss specific" drops to the browser? I'm not sure if they'd have very many item ID's as they always drop in the same trait, but the sheer number of them would be pretty daunting.

A sort by level would make this addon that is already my very favorite addon, brilliant! If there is any way you could do this, I would be uber grateful!

I'm not sure what you mean. All items can drop at any level...

Are you planning on updating this for Morrowind? PTS?

Yes.

I can't wait to try this! This is a fabulous idea!

I never did get around to updating it for the PTS (was too bitter at the PTS changes to spend time on it), but it has been updated for the Live release with the 15 new sets.

Thank you for doing this! I can't wait to install this. Great contribution to the ESO community.

Itemization Browser has been updated for the Update 15 / Horns of the Reach PTS. The latest version, 1.1.5, is compatible with both the Live and PTS servers (though for now you will only see the new sets on the PTS, of course).

Item Set Browser has a new name and has been updated for the Greymoor PTS, with support for the new Mythic items.

Thanks for all the good work

Item Set Browser now fully supports Item Set Collections and offers an alternative to the in-game Item Set Collections UI.

But why would anyone use Item Set Browser instead of the default UI?

Item Set Browser is easier, faster, and far more efficient to navigate, without the need to click through categories and zone selections.
Item Set Browser makes it easier to see your overall collection progress with the new completion rate column in the main display. You can even sort by this column, to see which sets are "almost done", for example.
For each individual set, Item Set Browser offers a clearer view of what you have and what you're missing.
- The default UI uses ambiguous icons. Is that staff a fire staff or a frost staff? Is that sword-like object a 1H sword or a 2H sword? You can't tell with the default UI unless you hover over the item and examine them individually. Item Set Browser, in contrast, uses text. It might not be sexy, but it conveys the necessary information quickly, precisely, and efficiently.
- The default UI grays out uncollected items. The contrast is poor and it's harder to tell at a quick glance what is and isn't collected. Instead of improving the contrast (e.g., by using a colored background for collected items, as many people suggested during PTS), ZOS instead just sorts collected items to the front, which just results in inconsistent ordering. In contrast (pun intended), Item Set Browser uses clearly contrasting colors of red and green to produce a visual distinction that users can parse quicker and more efficiently.
Item Set Browser still offers the same advanced search features that it has always had for the past four years, such as the ability to find sets by searching set bonuses.
