I'm not that experienced in programming but I did manage to make in a few hours today a very nice and useful (i think) program.
It's dos prompt and kind of .. mm .. unprofessional looking, but I think it's very useful.
It's a program that you basically type in one of each of the research components you have (new research), and it will come up with all the spells you can make with the components you have.
I'd appreciate any info / input you can give .. and also, i realize (and you should too!) that the file is an EXE and could potentially have nasty viruses / ETC that do crazy stuff to your computer.. You just have to take my assurance that it doesn't .. and its just a simple c++ dos prompt type exe file i put together today.. if anyone wants to test it out and vouch for me they can ..
Hope you like it, i sure do since im tired of weeding through all the spell info to see what i can make with the components i have hehe.

edit:
-----------
it finds combinations of the items you have
so it wouldnt turn up anything for just dew clover, it would however find something if you did dew clover, and all the other items that were in a spell
(lets say you go hunting and get a bunch of research items, you can type them in the program to see if they can actually make anything)
the exe terminates afer one use, (well, you have to type something at the very end for it to actually terminate), this i could fix by having it ask if you wanted to continue or quit..
