- (bug) make the level filters work
- (bug?) make the sorting by column also do reverse sorting and work in general - they don't seem to do anything remotely expected at the moment
- (bug?) fix the UI size/list size/scaling and scrolling. By this I mean, the AH UI can be resized but there are only a few sweet spots you can size it to where every item on a results page shows without scrolling. For most resizings, there's one item out of sight you have to scroll to see. When you're making the AH UI window larger than the original default the results list should always fit within the UI without slipping to scrolling. Scrolling should only ever be necessary if for some reason someone sized the window to be smaller than the minimum results per page. It's wonky and I'm not describing it well, but as a programmer, the way this is working drives me crazy. And since the level filters don't work and you can't filter out bid-only auctions most searches I do end up having 100's of results, most of it <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font>, so I want to see the most items per page possible by resizing the window to be large.
- Add a reset button to clear all search criteria - this is a standard feature on any AH UI. The fact that there is no such button completely blows my mind.
- Add a filter to show ONLY items for sale with buyouts. There are WAY too many items for sale with no buyout. I'm here to tell you that most MMORPG players have zero patience and want stuff now, not 4 days from now. This is one reason why I usually get (virtually) rich in every MMO I play. It's a fundamental MMO law.
- User error? You can search for gear by character class but the companion "classes" are different. If I want to find gear for my companion, how do I limit the search? For ex, I want to buy belts for my companions. If I just search belts I get 400 results - none have buyouts - and no clue how to limit the list to be appropriate for companions. Not sure what to recommend but something should be done about this.

(@people who want to sell low-level stuff: if you don't post a buyout, it's not going to get bought except maybe by AH players if you set the opening bid way below market value. Nobody's going to bid on a bunch of level 15 gear, stop leveling for a week, and come back when they win the auctions.)
Fixing the level filter would make it a lot better, but don't expect a fix any time soon.
