Auction Search Driving Me Crazy

I understand that having the predictive text feature in the auction page search field might be useful in theory on occasion, but the amount that it hinders me as opposed to helping me is frustrating!  I, like I imagine almost all of the users, know exactly what I want and how to type it.  What's the difference between waiting a few seconds for a response to a partial term query, and hitting Enter and waiting a few seconds for the same?  Worse, the feature barely works.  It gives errors constantly and some partial matches return items that others don't*.  I just don't see the point, in practice. :(  Another, much less annoying feature is that it wants to refine search by category.  There simply aren't nearly enough items to warrant this.  How often do I want to search for "but" but oh no don't you dare give me a Herdkeeping Supplies result!  Who cares?  I just want the field to always be accessible for fast-ass typin'.

* for the record, I tried to recall specifics for this issue but couldn't.  And when I tested a few I thought might be troublesome I couldn't find any, lol.  I know it's happened to me many times though!  Maybe this issue was fixed or is less common than I thought hehe

  • The constant errors are infuriating. Using the auction search is indeed slow and frustrating.
