Minor guild trader QoL update request

No, this is not another global auction house thread! There, now that that's out of the way...

I have two things that I would personally like to see changed/updated to the guild store UI. I'm sure there are a million and one things out there that could be done, but the following suggestions I think would be easy to implement and would decrease my frustration when using the traders.

@ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_JessicaFolsom

1. Save search preference of "time left" when moving between traders. - It was a great improvement when you guys implemented the save search preferences with regards to item categories, but why can we not save our preferences on the order of how results are displayed? I nearly always search by how much time is left on the listing, with the most recently listed items at the top. This requires two UI commands to be entered at EVERY trader (1 - display by time left : 2 - display most recent) before I can even see the items I want to look at. And I'm not sure if it's my latency or just the game's standard procedure, but there is a 5-8 second cool down after each command before I can change the preference again. Note: On console, so I'm already at a disadvantage without all the trader searching add-ons PC has.

2. Create two new, broader search categories that include all provisioning recipes (food/drinks) and ALL furnishing plans. My crafter is getting down to only needing a few recipes left to learn in the entire game, and furnishing plans are about halfway done, so I've been spending a lot of time in traders looking for the last few. My problem is I need like 2 drink recipes and 3 food recipes, and with furnishing plans it's all across the board. By allowing us to search both recipe types, and all furnishing plans, it would be much easier to scroll through the traders to find the one or two items that may be listed that we still need to learn. It is extremely tedious to cycle through the menus 6-8 times per trader looking individually at blueprints, designs, diagrams, etc.

Anyway. I know update 17 was mostly about QoL updates, so I thought I'd throw out a couple that I would personally like to see.

    I'd personally like a plain old search box, so I can just type in what I want and boom! There it is.

    Can someone who is a programmer please explain why we can search for furniture when buying it from the crownstore in the housing interface but we can't search by text in a guild trader? Is there any reasonable excuse for this?

    I'm on console and can search by text in crown-store furniture interface but NOT the guild store interface. Why, on Xbox, can I search in one by text and not the other?
