An option to search JUST your created statblocks not all community statblocks

What functionality is missing? What is unsatisfying with the current situation?

  Currently it is a pain to find statblocks you have created by searching as it will pull up the entire list of community statblocks for your game system. The requested feature then is the ability to search just your created statblocks. This can be achieved with a simple checkbox that narrows the search function to just statblocks created by the user or otherwise involved in the world.

How does this feature request address the current situation?

  An example: I created a statblock for a ship, a Caravel, but cannot rapidly locate it without first having to sort through several dozen false positives that appear whenever I search for it. If i were able to narrow the search to just the statblocks I have created this process is infinitely easier.   Example 2: You know you have created the statblock for a special magic item your players will uncover. But when the time comes to reveal it you forget the name and did not place the item in a category. As a result you cannot find the item... ever... and need to recreate it on the fly.

    If you go to your world's statblocks page and type the name of the block in the search bar at the top it will pull up the statblock, sitting at the top under a subtitle saying: "Statblocks from *X* Below that, yes, there is a results region for community statblocks, but if it is in your world you can ignore it completely.

    Under advanced tools there is a page for statblocks per world. When you search there it only searches among the statblocks you created within that world.   If you search in the global search bar that can be found in the top navigation bar on the left side it can find statblocks from your currently active world.   But I can see that it might be useful to have some filters for the community statblocks.

    Yes, it's a bit weird because when searching the Statblocks search bar there is a section that claims to display "Blocks created by you", but when I tried to search just now for the sheet titles of blocks I've created, nothing appears in that section (although they does appear in the "Blocks shared by other community members" section). How bizarre.   This seems like it might actually be some kind of bug?
