Here's my current implementation of a writ search function, which as far as I know works well. It does have a bit more functionality, but you can strip that out if you don't need it. Line 446 in WritCreator.lua.

local function writSearch()
    local W = {}
    local anyFound = false
    if not WritCreater.questExceptions then
        return {}, false
    end
    for i=1 , 25 do
        local Qname=GetJournalQuestName(i)
        Qname=WritCreater.questExceptions(Qname)
        if (GetJournalQuestType(i) == QUEST_TYPE_CRAFTING or string.find(Qname, WritCreater.writNames["G"])) and GetJournalQuestRepeatType(i)==QUEST_REPEAT_DAILY then
            for j = 1, #WritCreater.writNames do 
                if string.find(myLower(Qname),myLower(WritCreater.writNames[j])) then
                    W[j] = i
                    anyFound = true
                end
            end
        end
    end
    return W , anyFound
end

writNames["G"] is "writ", writNames[1 -> 6] are the craft specific names of writs. questExceptions is a pre-format function you can overwrite for specific languages, but not really too important. All of the writNames and questExceptions can be found in the various localization files.
