Hi everyone,

I updated the necessary technical stuff behind the scenes and the vendor search webpage is now up-to-date. It's scheduled to update every 15 minutes. Hope this helps with all your buying/selling!

It will search for any text you input - if a player has placed it on an NPC merchant, it will be displayed in the results.

But say you are looking for a +10 necro cloak. It's not called a indestructible cloak of necro any more, it's just named magic cloak.

True, it's just searching the text of what's listed for sale. One possible fix for this could be to add the option to "name" your weapon/armor/clothing similar to what you get when you place a bag for sale. I can mention it to Agata to see what makes the most sense from a scripting perspective.

I will see about changing the routine that generates the item list for the merchant search. My idea is it will check if the name contains the corresponding text for the skill and damage bonuses, and if not, it will add it in parenthesis, separated by commas. When you are at the vendor browsing the items, you can hover the mouse over and see the properties, so that doesn't require fixing.
