Lok'tar!

WoW Instant is a powerful search engine for World of Warcraft that makes finding things blazingly fast. Use our powerful !bang syntax and +stat selectors to filter results, and build a wish list of upgrades using our Collection tab. We also support keyboard navigation shortcuts.

Instant is currently in ALPHA and has a long way to go, but we hope you'll use it and share your feedback with us and follow development progress on our blog.

In addition to !bangs, you can also filter and sort results based on item attributes like intellect, agility, strength and so on by using the +stat command. Here's some examples:

+int Only return items which have Intellect, and sort from highest to least.
+itemlevel(359) Just return items with a 359 item level.
+stamina(500+) Filter out items below 500 stamina.

‑spirit Don't return any items with spirit on them.

The stats you can currently use for this are: armor, dps, attackpower, spellpower, intellect, strength, agility, spirit, stamina, expertise, hit, critical, parry, dodge, block, mastery, resilience, itemlevel and developer. You can also use meta, prismatic, blue, red, yellow, cogwheel to search for gear with those gem sockets, and frost, nature, shadow, fire, arcane and holy for gear with those resistances.
