    Lightbulb Trade Office Search Shortcuts

    I've just been doing multiple searches in the trade office, and realised that this job would be made easier with a couple of shortcuts.

    For example, I want to check prices of 'Hardwood Planks', so I type 'Hardw' into the search, which shows all trades involving Hardwood Planks and Hardwood Logs. If I only want to see Hardwood Planks, then I can type 'Hardwood P' into the search box.

    It would be easier, however, if certain shortcuts, used regularly by all players, were recognised by the search system, for example, I type 'HWP', and would see all Hardwood Planks. Maybe the search could pre-check what you type and convert it, so you type HWP, and the search box auto-changes it to 'Hardwood Planks' before searching...?

    Suggested 'shortcuts' (case insensitive)
    • PW or PWL - Pinewood (Logs)
    • HW or HWL - Hardwood (Logs)
    • EW or EWL - Exotic Wood (Logs)
    • PWP - Pinewood Planks
    • HWP - Hardwood Planks
    • EWP - Exotic Wood Planks
    • GC - Gold Coins
    • SS - Steel Swords
    • IS - Iron Swords
    • BS - Bronze Swords
    • IotP - Island of the Pirates
    • SftR - Stealing from the Rich
    • DP - Dark Priests
    • BK - Black Knights
    • DB - Dark Brotherhood
    • VtV - Victor the Vicious
    Of course, this does have the possibility of confusing newbies, so maybe a tickbox next to the search box to enable/disable the feature.
    For example, with it turned on, searching for 'is' might just show Iron Swords, when the user was looking for 'Island of the Pirates', or items being sold be the player 'isaplayer'.

    Quite like this suggestion, although I'd probably prefer 12 buttons down the side where I could assign my favourite searches with hot-keys F1-F12.

    last time I looked certain keybindings in the Fkey group were already taken e.g F5 for browser refresh.
    When it comes to Gene pools and shallow ends they can be found at the bar drinking pina colada's

    I'd also like another filter. In addition to the current setup, I would like to see checkboxes to allow me to select 'hardwood planks' (or hwp) being offered for sale, or for trades for other things which ask for hardwood planks as payment.
