Guide to filter Global Chat search terms

[ThePiratebay]

Hey, please let me know if there is an easier way to do this !


I found the number of posts in global chat a bit hard to read when searching for groups im looking for, icecrown has a lot of players , so what can you do?


I found an old guide on thel blizz site that tells you how to filter global chat for search terms you want:
https://us.battle.net/forums/en/wow/topic/15699456230

go to https://addon.bool.no/

past in the code for the custom addon you are creating (name it whatever you want):
--------Between these lines---------------
ChatFrame_AddMessageEventFilter("CHAT_MSG_CHANNEL" ,function(_,_,msg)
return not (msg:match("REP") or msg:match("NAX") or msg:match("POS") or msg:match("FOS") or msg:match("ULDUAR"))
end)
--------Between these lines---------------

For example , this will filter everything out of global other than "REP" "NAX" "POS" "FOS" "ULDUAR"

You can obviously filter whatever terms you are looking for (i want to do nax some time for teh memories)

The website above will generate an addon , that will filter global for you (i have global chat on a seperate tab but not sure if that matters)

Guild chat does not seem to be broken or anything but you can obviously turn off and on the addon you create!

Hope this helps and if anyone knows an easier way to do this i would love to know!
