Late-December Version Update (12/20/2010)


The
final version update of the year will introduce the item search
function, which players may use to search through retainer bazaars in
market wards to locate specific items. The date and time of the version
update are as follows.

◆Date and Time
Tuesday, December 21, 2010 from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.

◆The Item Search Function
This version update marks the first of several that will introduce
improvements to item-based searches. The features to be added this time
are listed below.A search option that tells players how many
items of a certain type are being sold in the market area with which
that item type is associated.

Retainers returned by a search now have a distinguishing icon displayed above their head.



* Searches can be conducted by selecting the
item search option at the entrance to any market, or from within any
individual ward, row, or den.

With the introduction of the item search
feature, it will now be significantly easier for players to locate
specific items. We will continue to improve this system with further
enhancements such as keyword-based searches, the ability to show the
retainers selling an item at the lowest prices for searches returning
numerous hits as with synthesis materials, and more. Concrete details
regarding such information will be released in future Topics posts here
on the Lodestone as they become available.

The Item Search Feature





The item search allows players to scan all retainer bazaars within
an entire market to discover how many of a designated item are currently
being sold. The retainers returned in the search results will all be
marked with a icon by their display name to easily distinguish them
on-screen.

It is the final patch of the year.

Quote :
Late-December Version Update (12/20/2010)

The final version update of the year will introduce the item search function, which players may use to search through retainer bazaars in market wards to locate specific items. The date and time of the version update are as follows.

While the search feature is a nice addition, it's somewhat clunky. Yes, I'm aware they will make "improvements" down the line.

Right now, can only initiate a search before entering the wards proper or, once inside, at the port out doors at either end of the ward.

While you can search for items not within the ward category, count of items can only show for the specific ward the item is intended for.

The search interface will show 7 iron ores for sale in Masons ward, for example. You -cannot- get iron ore count for the other wards if they have them. The purple star will still show up non-Masons wards though, as long as the search option for iron ore remains active.
