Vendor Search

* Added min and max price filter UI to the vendor search



Any idea what this actually means? As far as I understood it, you'll be able to specify a price range in which you want to search for specific items, right?

Guess we'll find out tomorrow.

At least you should be able to filter out the 999999 items now.

That means you'll only have to look through 65 pages of items instead of 68.

The fact that they will be the same items over and over again doesn't seem to warrent much attention. *sigh*

I'm SOOO glad they fixed this. I'm sure it wasour main concern.For a second I thought they would fix the search bug that displays the same items on every page. Glad to see the dev's have those bugs prioritized.

it looks like my items are all listed ... maybe because my name starts with C I get listed above names that start with say an M?

Worthless update....how about just fixing the factory crate sort problem instead of side-stepping it?

I think there is an office pool at SOE; someone just won by fixing something that SORELY needed fixing without actually fixing it. I have to give it to these guys, you have to be truly skilled in avoiding client input to pull this off.


I don't think there is a single dry eye in the office! They are all laughing up a storm, while one guy counts the 25 bucks he won.


Good job, devs. Really, mindboggleing~~~

Another controversial change that made it to live without testing, no discussion and no advance warning.


Did everyonein their marketing department skip Communications 101?

Hey, what they failed to mention is that they FINALLY put in a text search. No more going through 800 pages of factory crates trying to find Brandy--you just put in Brandy. You like Stof's Brandy--you type in Stof and Brandy. WOOO!


I'm still irked over the price filter, but at least they put the search string in with it.

You like brandy, and like comparing prices? Type in brandy in the search string and BAM! I can even compare my prices with three other undercutting chefs on the first page!


Wooooo!

Don't worry. Soon we'll go the way of Politician, and then it'll be just like when we got the Bazaar in EQ!
