Make BO abilities (and other things) searchable (or filtered) in the Exchange

One feature I'd, and I'm sure many here, would appreciate would be the ability to search BO's on the exchange by ability. There have been many a time that I've wanted a certain ability for a BO, and have gone to the exchange to search out this ability to train up an officer. It takes painstaking search to hover over each BO in the exchange looking for the one ability I want for the cheapest price possible. It would be great if I could search BO's by ability, i.e. specify the ability I want, and filter out all the BO's that do not have that ability, then I can see which one offers it for the cheapest price, and get it. Some sort of filter sorting in the Exchange. This could also be extended to many other things in the Exchange, making searching it more refined. Just a suggestion.

    God yes. And also by attribute so we can see only the overpriced efficient boffs.

    Agreed, I think this could really enhance the search on the exchange.

    At one time you could pick up Efficient Saurians like rocks on the exchange. Sure you had to look through a couple hundred of them but you could usually find one for $1000 or less. Then everybody wanted listings by price and before long it was easy to find those efficient Saurians and the speculators bought them all up and started listing them for $50 million.

    I would mention that when they went to listing by price instead of time first listed that prices would rise and was pretty much jeered and then overnight buying cheap and relisting high became a favorite pasttime of the Ferengi types.

    Be warned that you can get this ability if you want but if you make it easier for "YOU" to find the best bridge officers that you make it easier for those that stalk the exchange 24/7 to do the same thing. And if you dont want to compete with those guys for the best BO's then I suggest you be happy with the current treasure hunt approach as its still possible to occasionally find some bargains though you do have to work hard and look for them.

    Its not just that combo, i personally would like to redo my whole ground team. But slogging through all of the boffs is a pain. I want sub search criteria. Like only those boff's that are my faction.
