    Could you make an option to exclude certain things in your search?

    For example, say I'm working on my Shaman's Alchemy skill, and wanting to find recipies to skill up on. I've already got a skill of 231, all vendor purchased, thanks to the Slime VII. So, I'm wanting to look at options for my next step. However, I specifically DO NOT want to see nine or ten pages worth of OoW Augments, which are uniformally not something I want to skillup on. Heck, just being able to say "Exclude any name containing'flow' " would cut the number of Augments shown up in half, if not more so. You've got a place to say look for something with 'x' in the name, if it could be used to say look for something that doesn't have 'y' in the name, that would be a great help.

    Sounds like a good idea. I do get annoyed when I get lots of hit for items that I don't want, like when I search for fine plate I don't want to see 20 of each color.

    Some searchable database usually have the feature where including - will exclude the word. Right now the search treats - as normal search and not as to "exclude" word.

      The reason the hyphen is treated as a normal letter is that many item names use hyphens in them. It's a valid character for an item name.

      Adding an include/exclude toggle seems reasonable, and it's pretty easy on the technical side. I'll add that to the list of exclusions that need looking at. (I'm probably going to revamp the race/class stuff so it's a bit clearer.)

        Perhaps an additional result display option. Such as Item Name and recipe with 50 results.

        Most of the time when I go to look up stuff I'm looking for skill up paths so I don't really care much what the stats on the item are going to be just the trival name and recipe, and even then really just the trivial and the recipe lol.
