I find this very annoying. I have tried every possible combination but it seems the special auction items are not searchable. This can make things very tedious. I'm going to post two suggestions here and break it up.

1) Can we get the special potions searchable in auction house?

2) Can we make the item icon in AH clickable so that when we click the item the auctions for just this item are displayed?

And, Rulen - no pie options so you have to vote!

I like both options. Though the second option... why not just search for that item?

I know but, as a dumb example - I forget what the GP ammy is called. I can search panther to see them. Faster to click on it once all the GP gear comes up than to type "golden panther eye" and worry about if it's "panthers". Also, in the potions you can't search by name. But the click on the icon would resolve that if implemented. And, could any of you ever spell Raggghzas right the first 83 times you did it?

I think the name of the post implied which I thought was more important. The second just seemed a nice convenience that wasn't that hard to do.

I like them... the second one would be very easy to add... as well as the first...

just make the item link to 'index.php?cmd=auctionhouse&search_text=' + $item_name;

I agree DA, they shouldn't be hard. First just requires "logging" the names of the potions into the AH database I'd assume. HOOF???

At the time, I did like both of that suggestions parts... but now I know how bad that would make getting Super Potions an art... so I really only currently like the second part...

DA. lol. I don't think protecting the snipability of potions is a reason not to do it. Understand why you don't want it but, think it would be a general improvement to tag those potions with names and make them searchable.

Potion snipping is a fine art... I don't want to ruin that... maybe if only the super potions couldn't be searched... but the normal ones could?

Don't think it'll matter. It's 19-2 (who knows who/why the 2) but no cow has commented.

I have supported the inclusion of forges/crafts and even making them searchable on other threads. Seemed too much to put in one poll even though it might be part of an easy, but sweeping, AH upgrade.

LOL

I voted, but only for the second one. The way I see it is I like the fact that you have to work at searching for the FI potions or wither potions etc. though I like the clickable idea for anything else.

My logic of course here is purely selfish, I'll be the first to admit. I have browsers open to the right page of FI 1000 potions and whatever potions I'm interested in. Making people search for them manually helps me as they may not get to a potion in time and of course I will. Thats just me.

Rulen, you and DA are in cohoots here! I know exactly what you two are saying, but I still think it should be done. Why should sniping the potions be easier than sniping any other AH item? BUT, this thing is like 30-2 with no cowment.

Be nice to get a cowment on what parts of this are in the "AH" changes they promised decades ago.

I agree with you 100% and as a se hunter i know the challenges of getting good potions, and if the potions were able to be searched i know sniping would become way too easy..
