when i search for 19 it will have responses such as "197 %ed" or 18/19 torch

however when i put 19/ (to find torches starting with 19) it doesnt find anything (and ive definitly seen things that meet this criteria)

why does it do this/is there a way to look for items that start with something

other sites (like runescapes website) have an option to say drag* and anything starting with drag will show up (like dragon)

It only searches stuff in the most recent pages of topics, not sure exactly how many, but it's only recent ones.

I'm not sure why it does that.

You can make a site suggestion about it in here: http://forums.d2jsp.org/forum.php?f=258

Just be sure to read the Sticky before you make a topic

With your searches you had too be either specific or follow the abreviated forms of words so the torch put 19 stat necro torch
Or whatever character you are looking for.
