Search by ESL

Like many a player, I have all the esps the engine supports, and am stucking using the few esl mods I can find. It surprised me that there seems no straightforward way to do a search to get a list of only those mods which are esl, not esp etc. You can crudely search for the in the title, but there's no flag to tick or category for only esl mods.

It seems like a shame as while i love the larger mods, I'd still at least like to have little changes to my game.

I also understand that an esl can be removed without corrupting a save game. Is that correct?

Thanks for the feedback, I'll leave it here for others to chime in - but I see no issue adding tags to SkyrimSE/Fallout games for ESM/ESP/ESL files.

I second this idea. Most mods dont have ESL in the filename and you cant search within the description for ESL.

That is incorrect.

ESL files aren't the magical things that people have been incorrectly brought to believe.

So is this still up for debate? Its a huge pain in the....rear. Searching for ESL files. The only ESL files I have I found thankfully for mods I already have, or by luck. Would be great and a time saver to tag mods or search for ESL.

This won't make it any easier to "search" for ESL's, but it will make it very easy for you to convert some of your esp's into ESL flagged files.
