Say you're in national dex, and you want to to a lower tier. It takes a pretty long while for myself to scroll down. This situation can happen in any scenario when you want to go to a lower tier. You can use the normal search, but you have to know what you're looking for, so maybe just add a "Tier Filter" next to the search bar where you can choose the tier. So, I want to find a NU fire type. I type in fire and change the filter from all tiers to NU, and hit search. Only NU fire types, and I don't have to scroll through all those over fire types to find some NUs. I guess it would be a small pop down box right to the bar.

Done Add a "Pokemon Tier Search" Option

To elaborate, Showdown! already has this functionality except in a less obtrusive and more convenient way. See here:
If you type in "NU", beneath the list of Pokémon with "nu" at the start of its name, it will have the option to add NU as a filter. Click on the button, and you'll go to NU-only Pokémon. Then type in "Fire", and the same will happen again where you can add it as a filter.
Alternatively, you can use "/ds NU, Fire-Type, all" in any text-box and it will deliver the following result.
"ds" stands for dex search. It only applies to Pokémon available in SwSh with DLCs, if you want to search all of Pokémon use "nds" for national dex search, but that doesn't interact well with tier searches for obvious reasons since they're not in any gen 8 tiers.
So yeah this suggestion seems extremely unnecessary but I hope I helped explain some of the tricks Showdown! has to be convenient! ^^ For the record, this doesn't work specifically with NatDex because... NatDex NU doesn't exist. Everything below UU is "Below UU", so a NatDex NU Fire-Type Pokémon doesn't exist either, as it's not a supported tier.
