- +spellname <spell> - for items with spells attached such as grenades, potions, scrolls, spellbooks, staves and wands, and also for spell components affinity.
- +charges - for items with spell charges such as wands
- +permspell <spell> - for items with perm spell attachements
Examples
- list search -coldsave -5 - returns items with 25% cold saves or higher
- list search +firesave +1 - returns items with negative 5% fire saves or lower
- storage search +composite test - returns all items as there is no such composite as test.
- storage search +composite epic - returns items that are epic
- storage search +composite exceptional - returns items that are exception or better (exception+epic items).
- l in vor -spellcomp +spellname ball - returns a spider egg which is a spell component that has affinty for lightning spells.
- l in vor +permspell haste - returns Boots of speed which are a piece of equipment with the perm spell haste attached.

Notes
- Look in <container> supports only a limited range of switches.
- Saves are negative and each point is 5% of save e.g. -5 equals 25% save
- For manaregen each point is 0.5 of regen e.g. 5 equals 2.5 regen.
- The remarkable, exceptional and antique flags do not actually search for the remarkable, exceptional or antique flags on an item. They use the item's actual composite ranking, so, for example, a scepter of the sorcerer king shows up on a search for -antique even though it does not have the antique flag.
- the wieldable flag shows all items you can wield, even if they are not weapons.
