Why is nothing in the Exchange?

I've been playing the game for a while--I'm a commander now--and I have yet to see a single item for sale in the Exchange in any location (Spacedock, Memory Alpha, Station K7, etc.). What's up with that? What's its usefulness? I can put items up for sale, but cannot see a single other item.

    you arent doing it right, then Try searching the entire catagory and not a specific text search.

    For basic catagory search, just select the rank, rarity, and item catagory, then hit the search button. You can then enter specific text (e.g. 'Phaser', 'Tactical') to narrow down the catagory...

    One thing I've discovered about the exchange is that the search is case sensitive. For example, if you're looking for some form of Phaser in the Ship Weapons category, you'll want to type: "Phaser" not "phaser" (w/o the quotes of course) or your search will come up with nothing. And, you can only search based on the title or name of the item, not stats or description.

    Dude I had this same problem at the start , look above where it says "search with keyword" or something like that , you might have written something in there by accident , so it is looking for what you put into that field , when you first open the exchange interface.

    I have never experienced the search function to be case sensitive. I always search in lower case, and it always works. Weird.

    One thing of note: Searching by category for ship consoles is broken. They automatically apply the words "Ship Console - Engineering" or something as opposed to "Console - Engineering" as items appear in game... Making zero results show. This is the only issue I've seen.

    You lucky duck, cuz I can't get it to work at all like that for me... or perhaps I haven't tried in a while? Oh well, holding the shift key for only a moment isn't upsetting to me :p

    Can you search somehow like this?

    astro, sniper, covariant

    terms across multiple categories and return a result?
    i've tried commas, semicolons; and , %

    no luck

    Nawww, apparently there's no boolean logic to the search.
