Add a search function for auctions

Currenty, auctions are only listed by most recent. I think it would be very helpful if there was a search function so players can look beyond that list for items they would like to buy. Unless, of course, those current listings are the only ones at that time, which I highly doubt. I hope I didn't confuse anyone.

  • You can currently do this by going through the Encyclopedia entry. Though that's a bit cumbersome, and there's probably a better way?

    Also, we currently only see the one page of most recently posted auctions, and when they fix that, things might be easier.

  • It helps to go to the smaller categories (food, drinks, etc.), but I agree, a search would be very helpful.

  • The encyclopedia method is more than a bit cumbersome. 4 clicks and rather a lot of scrolling, which is exacerbated when you're looking for a number of items (filling out a music block collection, finding project resources).

    It really doesn't help when there are rarely items available or if they are it's only very high prices.

  • I would love to see a search function for the auctions!  I often had a hard time finding things as there was only one page of each category!

  • In addition to a search function, I'd also like it if we could set alerts for items we were looking for.

  • I am bumping this as I would really like having an alert option in the auctions section.
    Next time someone puts up an alert for the DB05 musicblock - I wanna be the first to know about it!

  • +1 to the alert function.

  • It should have a filter for auction lot size and or total price. 

    Also, allow us to click where it says and x more expensive items to go on to the next page.

    There are lots of bulk auctions for things, but sometimes you don't want to buy in bulk and would be willing to spend a bit more per item for fewer items (because total cost is less).
