Is there a possibility to search by multiple strings?
For example, if I search for "nate van" then it finds me all of the fulginate vanguard. (The shorthand I've been using, since I hate typing it all out for the website or broker over and over.)
However sometimes I'd like to only see, for example, the shaped items. I would like to be able to type something like "shaped +'nate van'" and have it search the database for hits on both of those two strings, rather than always treating the whole thing as one string.
In my example it's a time saver, not having to type out all of "shaped forged fulginate van"; however there are other searches that simply aren't possible without some sort of convention like that. For example, searching all of the pristine forged vanguard helms to take a look at progression.
It would also be neat to have a full-fledged advanced search option with options to include/exclude craft type, item type, quality, level, etc. For example, being able to search for only rare (legendary) items would be nice for those of us who aren't tailors and aren't sure which types of cloth and leather are rares by name alone.
I think it would be a fun project; I would be willing to lend help to development if such were feasible. Of course, I don't know anything about your server loads, so I'm not sure how amenable you would be to the idea of more involved database queries.
