Auction House Search

edited September 2009 in Suggestion Box
I am unsure if this has been suggested before, but I would like to have an auction house search feature added so I can search for items without the id code. IE, Searching for random pigment can be easily found by searching for ran, random, pigment, example of search terms. Just like a IE Search engine.

    Why don't you just use the filter feature?b:victory

    Because some people dont know what category it goes under (eg-spurs of alacrity...Galewind spurs are in the Pets→mounts section but what about alacrity spurs?)

    Would be great. Even if you use the filter feature, some things are jumbled together, such as elite weapons/armor/etc, TT mats, and molds, and a bunch of other categories as well. It's annoying having to go through so many different lists.

    Thanks for the posts, I believe this will be a GREAT benefit, filtering does help but this will should be a simple yet beneficial upgrade.

    I support this cause as well... While I currently can use the filter system I'd prefer a Boolean search vs "filters" and it could enable the system to be able to handle stuff currently not broken down into the hardcoded categories.

    i think the search thing they use right now goes by the auction number... and idk what number = what item, so its kinda pointless XD id also like them to update what you can sell in AH bc i know that you cant auction the 3 animal bikinis or the superstar coats yet ._.

    Thanks for the post, This would make it alot easier to search for items. Also since those items are not categorized, all new items could remain under miscellaneous category until further notice.

    So far all yes support, just wonder how long it would take for PWI staff to notice and implement.

    I agree. The TT material list is HUGE.
    I was early taught to work as well as play,
    My life has been one long, happy holiday;
    Full of work and full of play-
    I dropped the worry on the way-
    And God was good to me everyday.

    Filter works aprox. 95% of the time for me.

    Only problem is looking the through the list for HH mats
    The only way to win is to quit. b:bye

    Usually game companies have 2 departments, Debugging Department and Game Development Department, both Fixing bugs and this update should be able to progress at the same time.

    That search button is to search by Auction ID, not by titles or names of items like a search engine should work.
