In the Showdown teambuilder, when adding a pokemon to a team, one has the option to filter by learned moves instead of entering the Pokemon's name. Not sure how many others have had this issue, but when I try to search for Stealth Rock users by entering "SR", I instead get Silvally-Rock (in a generation where it's not even legal!) Small QOL change but would mean the world to me :)
 
The hard question, really, where should you draw the line? Prioritizing filters over pokemon seems like a bad idea in the pokemon box. Probably the most straightforward way would be something like "filters take priority over illegal results". Even "exact match filters take priority over partial pokemon matches" has some disadvantages. Like probably wa typed into the pokemon box should match Walking Wake before Water Absorb.

We could hardcode? But that presumably involves spinning up an entire council to discuss what should be prioritized over what. Which I guess we could?
