Search Bar

I know, the AH/GV system has been the "dead horse" everyone beats on every so often, but, honestly... PC players have all sorts of add-ons that allow them some really basic QoL improvements, one is a search bar. On console, we cannot even sort alphabetically, which is ridiculous to begin with, but, pretty much every possible complaint about the system would be fixed just by adding a simple search bar. As it sits, a person, like me, with dyslexia, the system is almost abusive. Because every item in the list can (and often times is) be a completely different item, it means the player has to read each item. Since we cannot sort alphabetically, that means this is mandatory. Just trying to keep reasonably up to date on my crafter, getting the motifs, is nightmarish. And, after a few pages, I want to quit the game because I am falling asleep from concentrating so friggin much to read each item.

Can we just get a search bar? It's a really tiny thing, and doesn't screw with the idea of different vendors, the bidding system, etc... not that I can think of, and it would definitely go a long way to making things "complaint" for those with reading disabilities.

    There are very few items I will search for because they are generally easy to find in traders. Motifs? Gave up on them a long time ago. Can't even imagine what it's like to try and find a specific housing item.

    Well, currently there are 42 (soon to be 45) craftable motifs that have chapters. Since there are 14 chapters each, that is a potential of 588 different items currently. It's absolutely ridiculous, but, unless you have great luck, the vendors are pretty much the only reasonable way to find the pieces you are missing. I can easily spend hours searching through the first 5 pages of motifs on the vendors of major cities in each area (15 cities, about 5 vendors each, plus travel time). But, because reading is problematic, I have to focus really hard to force myself to read at a decent pace (to really READ the stuff), which means by page 5 of a couple of vendors, I am literally shaking my head, pulling my eyelids open, etc to stay awake and force myself to try and keep going, because MAYBE this one has what I need...

    Like I said, it is almost abusive for players like me, and definitely not disability compliant... (and yes, I had to correct myself here, several times because of mistakes), all I am asking for, is what PC players already have (through mods): a search bar.

    Yeah search bar should have been in the base game from the start...

    Whenever I'm going through pages of motifs even I get a bit bleary eyed...

    i agree.... the ui needs a major rework for everyone.
