[QUOTE="MNblockhead, post: 9363833, member: 6796661"] For what its worth, I'll share a bit on how I made my rule reference. Foundry doesn't have a great universal search for all content. I have the Quick Insert Module, which is great to pull up items by name/title, but it doesn't search in all of the items content. But even when running D&D, using D&D Beyond which has decent full-content search, I didn't always find that convenient in game and still made my own quick references. Many people will find my approach to be way too much content for a quick reference. An for an in-person game, maybe. But it works for me. I am using the current stable version of foundry with the newer multi-page journals. I have a journal call "Rule References" which I put into my hot bar: [ATTACH type="full" width="535px"]365717[/ATTACH] That pulls opens up the Journal holding all my rule references. I have the Pop Out module installed, so I can pop out the journal into its own window. So I can ALT+TAB to and from it as needed during the game. [ATTACH type="full" width="539px"]365720[/ATTACH] The left outline shows all of my sheets. When I click on one, the headings from that sheet are shown in the outline, making navigation easy.
