Apparently, I can't post on the official forum if I don't have a valid blizzard game (D2 doesn't count, inactive WoW account doesn't count...)
Ho well... hopefully someone will read this and do something about it...
Or if someone could post this on the official forum...

After participating in the DiabloFans.com contest to enter the beta (we had to post a build), I felt there was something missing in the build page: a search feature.
It would be better if we could search in description to find easily skill synergies, instead of reading every runes and passives.
For example, if you want to do a pure rocket Demon Hunter, it's not an easy task if you don't know the runes, you have to read them all...
Of course, after playing the class, you'll read all the description as you level up, but you'll still have to remember them if you want to make some changes to your build or play another class.
There's a "filter" textarea on the skill page on your website, how would I filter by name if I don't even know their descriptions. This filter should be replaced by "search" and filter description with a keywork...

You can download it and run it locally, it's only html and javascript, no php, no need for a web server.
Basically, you can filter the skills by typing words contained in the description, like "stun", "knock", "fire", etc...
I couldn't pull the rune descriptions because their tooltip API doesn't support it.
Support for the runes could always be pulled from a local flat file or something.
with the tooltip API, if they update something, it will be updated on my side aswell.
