I know this gets brought up every few months but it's something that needs to happen. I keep finding myself looking through dozens of pages of motifs and recipes for the one I need only to discover its not for sale at the guild store I'm checking. If a text search is too hard to implement (which it shouldn't be its just a table in a database) at least allow us to sort alphabetically to reduce the amount of time it takes to find out they don't have it for sale.

    I spent two hours the other day searching for four items. I went to a single zone, changed the search parameters for one item, searched all nearby traders manually, then rinsed and repeated, before moving onto the next zone.I did this for every zone in the game and it took for-ev-er. It should not take so much friggin' effort to search traders. Just let us dial in for the item we're looking for exactly.

    Gamers always believe that an epic win is possible and that it's always worth trying, and trying now. Gamers don't sit around.

    Yes please. I’m one chapter away from a complete motif and can’t find the stupid thing anywhere. It takes waaaay tooo looong to go from trader to trader.

    This, or at least a toggle for known/unknown motifs/recipes/furnishing plans. Grouping motifs into searchable category by their number would be nice too

    We need this SO BADLY. I’m trying out a health regen build for my Templar, and spent literal hours searching traders for five specific pieces. This is such a huge QOL issue for console players.

    A search bar would make the reader system a lot better for customers AND traders alike. Who knows how many items I’ve been searching for have been available on traders I missed, solely because I got so frustrated and gave up my search after three hours?

    If you're going to ignore all the performance issues on consoles, at least give us some basic QoL ZO$.

    daily reminder that a substring search will work better, is easier to initially establish, and requires less future maintenance than a keyword search (for whoever's listening).

    All it needs is another drop down box.

    Crafting / blacksmithing / motif / chapter. Fixed and every one is happy.

    Instead we’ve got this. 227FB675-BC80-4CFB-BDF5-7D7991A0796D.jpg

    Why just limit to consoles? I agree that consoles should get it first as they have no existing functionality at all...

    ... but importing AGS into PC would be a big step up for us too!

    Needs a free text search field. That's all.
