!t: your guild asks Terminal

• Someone in your guild or group types !t nearest innkeeper (or !t where is hogger, !t what drops thunderfury) and one Terminal in the guild answers in the same channel, from their side: nearest to where they stand, their class trainer, their level. World facts only, never your bags, mail, alts or position.
• Off until you switch it on: .ask guild on, .ask group on, .ask whisper on (whispers only from friends, guildies and your group). .ask test <question> shows what it would send. Your own !t is answered in your chat only.
• Several Terminals in a guild agree on one answer, and share the limits: 10 s per asker, once a minute per question, 6 a minute per channel. Never in a battleground's chat; a question in another language is left unanswered.
• Answers are headed as >>> heads a list in your own chat: "Nearby innkeeper (15): ...", "Vendor in Ratchet (12): ...".

Spells by what they do

• Your spellbook's and every class's spells (@spell) are found by their descriptions: "spells that stun", "druid spells that root", @spell movement speed.
• Four new filters, as the game gives them: cast:instant, cast:<2; cost:0, cost:mana, cost:<100; range:melee, range:30; cd:0, cd:<10. In Simple mode: "instant spells", "spells with no cooldown", "spells that cost no mana", "30 yard spells", "spells under 100 mana", read only in a line about spells or abilities.

Cooking fires and moonwells

• "nearest cooking fire" lists every fire you can cook at: campfires, bonfires, braziers, stoves, cauldrons, meat racks, about 2,000 places (the objects the server marks as a cooking fire, from Mangos Zero's object table; scenery fires stay out). Each row says what it is ("Campfire", "Cozy Fire").
• "nearest moonwell" lists QuestieDB's moonwells. Advanced: @cookingfire, @moonwell with sort:distance, near: and in:. Both need Questie or QuestieDB.
• The object lists (mailboxes, forges, anvils, cooking fires, moonwells) are made the first time you ask, not at login, and let go after 10 minutes unused.

Simple mode understands more of how people ask

• "nearest" after a request's opening words: "where is the nearest mailbox", "find the closest innkeeper", "show me the nearest anvil". "near me" anywhere: "repair near me", "innkeeper near me in stormwind".
• An object or a role said alone is the nearest of them: "mailbox", "anvil", "inn", "repair"; "mailboxes in westfall" those there.
• Roles in the plural ("nearest innkeepers", "banks", "flight masters"), "nearest auction house", "deadmines entrance", Stormwind by its name alone.
• A word naming the kind you want looks only there: "hogger quest", "quests in westfall", "npcs in westfall", "linen recipes".
• "where to learn tailoring", "who teaches mining", "where to learn warrior", "where can i learn riding": the nearest trainers.
• "who drops spiritshroud leggings", "vendors that sell woven vest", "which vendors sell ice threaded bullet": where to get it. An item only the other faction sells says who: "Sells it to the other faction only". A name beginning with "the" or "a" is found whole ("where to get the collector's ring").
• A place said with nothing there says so: "None of those in Moonglade that Questie knows of." A place on another continent lists what's there, with no distance.
• Names come first: "thrall" names Thrall, not his advisor; "dalaran mage" and "stockade guard" are those NPCs, not a mage in Dalaran; a quest named like a question ("What Is Going On?") is the quest.

Typos as hands make them

• A neighbouring key ("linrn"), a key pressed twice ("linnen"), a key missed ("lien", "hoger"), two keys swapped ("marhsal") or a neighbouring key pressed as well counts as one slip, on your client's keyboard (QWERTZ in German, AZERTY in French). A key far from its place counts for more.
• A word that is exactly a name is never a typo: "linken" is the NPC Linken, not your Linen Cloth. Simple mode corrects names only Questie knows: "marshal dughn" finds Marshal Dughan.

Alt+`

• Names the lists the rows shown come from when Advanced mode searches them only by name (@questie hex weakness), and writes a stat's or a slot's word as Simple mode reads it, in a name as well ("strength|stat:strength").

Smaller and faster

• The game loads only your language's translations (about 1.6 MB less read at every login), and the release's code comes without its comments, about a fifth smaller.
• .saved keep talents small keeps every class's talents without their descriptions, most of that part's size.

Also

• .tour's Questie step shows a different "nearest" each time: a vendor, an innkeeper, an anvil, a cooking fire...
• .console: Ctrl+B then c no longer leaves the c in the new pane; lines and the prompt are cut to their pane; rm with an unknown option says so; big folders list faster.
• .explain no longer errors on a filter whose value is only bars.
