• Each vendor owner can decide whether to allow his or her vendors to be searchable in the market. There is an option for vendor owners to turn on/off the search option on his or her vendor. The vendor owner will be able to find current search option settings for each of his or her vendor(s)
  
• When a vendor owner turns on the search option, a player should be able to go to any bazaarand list all items owned by this vendor
  
• When a vendor owner turns off the search option, the vendor is no longer listed in the galaxy-wide network search. With this search option turned off, vendor owners have the ability to conduct private auctions. Players will need to physically go to the vendor and click "Use Vendor" to list items from this vendor.

What I get out of this: The vendors will be listed, you choose a vender, then all the items on that particular vender will be listed, not zillions of other items.

People on TC have already reported that this is not the case. According to them, every item in a particular category is shown for every registered vendor in the galaxy. I really wish it were just a galactic search by vendor instead of by item...that would be so much more merchant friendly and would probably go a long ways towards reducing drag on the bazaar system.

To all those non -crafters (and crafters looking for resources) NOTHING has been changed to the search categories, so.....

1. You are searching for a Power Hammer;


2. You have 1.000 pages of PH on Live, so good luck in your search for the best weapon;


3. You have to examine the Weapon for it's stats and Price, so good luck remembering the 50.000 stats and prices;


4. You will have to see a Doctor after you are done with your first weapon

Conclusion, as I read on TC forums this won't be very usefull (on TC there are only 6 WS, so the amount of weapons isn't that big yet (already 10 pages). On Live there are around 200-400 WS, so good luck )
