Don't panic!
In the next day or so (possibly today) As of now, the
TDb
will be has been updated to v2.0. The major changes include:
- More granular searching (10 options instead of just 4)
- The ability to do a text search on just the text printed on tokens
- Better rendering on mobile devices
- Faster response times
- The ability to email/post a URL with your search results
- Fresh lemony scent!
Text on Token fields are fully active as of May 28, 2016.
will not be implemented for most tokens at launch. It will take a little while for them all to be converted.
Here's what you need to know:
You may not see the new site at the same time others do. Changes to web sites sometimes take a while to propagate to everywhere.
When using keywords, the default option is to look only in titles. If you want to switch to something else, check one of the boxes next to the text field. Unlike TDb 1.0, there is no specific checkbox for "Titles only".
Instead of "searching" for tokens, you filter them. Think of it this way: when you first load the site (or click the
{Reset Filters} button), you will have the complete list of tokens queued up. Even though you don't see the full list, it's there. When you select a filter option, you pare down the list to display only those tokens which fit your criteria.
"We don't care what's under the hood. Why are you telling us this?"
Because it will affect how you use the site. Most notably, each time you check a box or select an item from a drop-down, the page will refresh. So unlike in TDb 1.0 where you'd make up to four selections and then click {Search}, now you can only make one selection at a time.
You can make multiple selections, they just need to be made in stages. I'm sure you'll get accustomed to it quickly, but it's a very different way of using the site.
The filter process has a couple unfortunate, but hopefully livable side-effects:
- When your filtering results in only one match, you will need to click to see that token's full description.
- When viewing a specific token's page, you can only do a title search from that page. However, you can easily get back to the full filtering options by clicking the {Reset Filters} button.

ETA: The numbers you see in parenthesis after each item in a drop-down or checklist are the number of items that match that value. E.g., there are:
- 945 tokens usable by All
- 28 Back-slot items usable by All
- 3 Back-slot items usable by All from 2016
- 1 Back-slot item usable by All from 2016 that is Common
