NOTE: This only works with WotLK / Patch 3.0
Encyclopedia is... quite simply that, an encyclopedia, of every living thing you see on your travels.
In the form of a book, Encyclopedia logs all the NPCs (mobs, friendlies, pesky rats, cute squirrels, Mr. Bigglesworth) that you ever target. After you've seen something, you're able to look it up in the encyclopedia at any time in the future, and if it's still in the same place, the Encyclopedia will help you find it again with a nifty tracking feature!
Getting Started with Encyclopedia
Once you've installed the addon, getting started is very easy. It'll only recall things you've seen (targetted), so to give it some data intially, run/fly around your favourite place (Shattrath, for example), and start clicking on things, or go about your daily routine. The closer you are to the NPC when you click them, the more accurate the data will be.
Once you're satisfied, type '/enc' or '/encyclopedia', and it'll bring up the book! Type in any search queries you might have, and press Enter, and it'll perform the search. Double-click on any entries it finds to open the book up to the corresponding page.
From there, you may choose to return, close the book, or track the NPC (using the last known location). Click 'Track' to turn on tracking. The book will now close, and a tracking display will appear. Follow the wings to your destination! Once you arrive, the display will automatically disappear. You may close it prematurely at any time, however, by double-clicking anywhere on the screen.
