In the Auction House when Accessory is selected and I search for "Toasty" it says: "Your search text is too short."
When I search for "Vee" instead, it works.
How can "Toasty" be too short, when "Vee" is long enough?
(Sort was set to "End Time", but I don't know if this is related.)
PS: I want to search for "Volcanic", "Cool" or "Toasty" things, so they fit to my other equipment.
Starlinvf, you're not being helpful. ... and no, of course I didn't use quotes in my search queries. I guess you didn't try it, because if you did, you'd have known what you asked does not make any sense. However, this bug report is not exactly for you. It's for the developers and I hope, when they read it, they understand it without even thinking about quoting, because in the simple search form they implemented this wouldn't make any sense.
I can provide some insight on this one. The AH doesn't allow you to search by colors/adjectives, meaning typing "Prismatic" or "Toasty" isn't enough. The most affected is "Divine" since we were able to search for divine avengers and divine veils this way under the All tab. Now we either have to specify what comes after or click on the helmet/sword search tab.
So plainly stated, searching for colors does not work. However, sorting by Lot Size, Stars, or Variants under the Accessory tab will conveniently sort accessories by the type followed by color. Hope that helps!
That's very interesting. I tried it and this tab/category based restriction on search terms seems to be intentionally implemented, but it also seems to be result based, because partial terms like "ivine" are stripped, too.
So why did someone go through all this hassle just to make it impossible to search items containing those words?
... and why didn't they supply an exact error message? They could just tell the user "Searching for that term is not allowed", instead of something totally confusing about its length.
Maybe they didn't have time and, instead of using a condition to check whether the search term is blacklisted and provide a separate error message for that, they just stripped the blacklisted words from the search string, so the result would be too small; or maybe it's just a broken regex.
Your not using "" in the search phrase are you?
