I know it is 5 years old post, but this is for every person, that is still looking for an answer today.. *This involves using the console(which means PC only)* the command: "help" in Skyrim (Special Edition too), does not work with the filters from 0 to 4 "Filters: 0-all 1-functions, 2-settings, 3-globals, 4-other forms" The filter 4 (other forms) has to filter the results, showing only specific types. Like "Armor", "Weapon" or else. The proper syntax is: help "something" 4 <form>, where <form> should be replaced with the proper type, which consist of 4 letters. As weap for weapon, or armo for armor, or npc_ for creatures and so on... Let's just say i need "Bear Claws" for my potions: Example: help "bear" 4 ingr This should show only results that contain the word "bear" and it is of type: ingredient. Or: help "leather" 4 armo This should show only results that contain the word "leather" and it is of type: armor Or: help "bandit" 4 npc_ This should show only results that contain the word "bandit" and it is of type: NPC Unfortunately in Skyrim it won't work But it works with Fallout 4. Yes, it is the same command as in Fallout 4, but when i execute: help "plasma" 4 weap In Fallout 4 it will properly filter the search and only show weapon type results. Or: help "plasma" 4 ammo It will show only ammunition type results. Or: help "sniper" 4 perk only perks with the word "sniper" in it Should be really easy to fix, but it is constantly overlooked and left out of patches and updates.. The next best thing for Skyrim is to download a console mod, that will expand the console and make it easier to scroll the 999 pages of results... Search for "Better Console" by CDCooley This mod works with Skyrim Special Edition P.S. So let's say i want to spawn tough dragon near me to fight it, the proper way is to execute: help "ancient dragon" then lookup for the string, that has NPC_ in front of like this: NPC_: (000F811C) 'Ancient Dragon' then execute: player.placeatme f811c 1 and it will spawn 1 Ancient Dragon for me to fight :cool:

No. Right now April 2017(years later) it is still not possible to filter the results. But it works in Fallout 4 for example: help "plasma" 4 ammo will bring only ammunition type results Or: help "plasma" 4 weap only weapons help "sniper" 4 perk only perks with the word "sniper" in it The next best thing for Skyrim is to download a console mod, that will expand the console and make it easier to scroll the 999 pages of results...

the command: "help", doesn't work with the filters from 0 to 4 "Filters: 0-all 1-functions, 2-settings, 3-globals, 4-other forms" The filter 4 (other forms) has to filter the results, showing only specific types. Like "Armor", "Weapon" or else. The proper syntax is: help "something" 4 <form>, where <form> should be replaced with the proper type, which consist of 4 letters.

Let's just say i need "Bear Claws" for my potions: Example: help "bear" 4 ingr This should show only results that contain the word "bear" and it is of type: ingredient. Or: help "leather" 4 armo This should show only results that contain the word "leather" and it is of type: armor Or: help "bandit" 4 npc_ This should show only results that contain the word "bandit" and it is of type: NPC Just as it works with Fallout 4. Yes, it is the same command as in Fallout 4, but when i execute: help "plasma" 4 weap In Fallout 4 it will properly filter the search and only show weapon type results. Or: help "plasma" 4 ammo It will show only ammunition type results. My question is, why "help filters" work just fine in Fallout 4 and does not in Skyrim ?? Should be really easy to fix, but it is constantly overlooked and left out of patches and updates..
