First bold:
I'm more then 10 years here and I"ve never used it, hard to believe someone will.
Second bold:
You get what you search for, for example if I wrote occ but you search for occu you will get it but with your suggestion you won't get it.
Third bold:
Maybe only for trophy but most people post pictures so you can't even search it.
Voted no.
I think you missunderstand me..
First: If i knew there was advanced search where people could look up "Unique armor" or "runeword weapon" for example, then i would definitely use trade tracking info, when i make topics.. would make it much more easy to find your needs.. Right now trade tracker info is a function, that doesn't even have a purpose..
Second: if i write "death" searching for "death's web" then i will also get "death runeword" in my search, so why would i shorten an items name? makes no sense.. Of course they shouldn't remove the current search, i am just asking for advanced search so i can write "death" and then weapon/armor/runeword or whatever category it must be.. So i don't see why you would say it's a loss of search effenciency?
Third: If you read what i write, i tell you that they should add filter function, so that i can filter "rare items" for example.. and then it will show the top scored rare items...
It's fair that you voted no, but i think you haven't understood my idea, or you've made some misconsumptions about it..
Right now search function stinks ... some people write st 45@, some people write sacred targe 45@, some people sacred 45@res, some people st 45res and so on.. that means i have to search 10 times, each time i look for a specific item.
If there was an advanced search function, i could avoid all of that.. Advanced search > White items > Shields <-- example of what i mean.. then i can pick those categories and write "45", then all white shields with the letter "45" would appear, making it only shields with 45@res... In my opinion that is a very good idea to do it..
Of course you can still use the normal search function and write occ to find occu, though some people write ocu, since it is called the oculus
So even you might have trouble finding the item you need, if you misspell it, or if some people write it differently than you do.. so even for you it would also help..
I hope you understand better now, what i am trying to suggest here..
Filters could be divided in two types of filter: "Item type" (weapon/armor etc.), "Item quality" (rare/magic/runeword etc.), and then the search function added to those filters.This post was edited by Jepdizel on Jan 10 2016 10:09am
