Report #588
Skillset: Skill: Trade_New
 Org: Ninjakari Status: Completed Mar 2011
Furies' Decision:
Implemented.
Problem: So many times, a person is asked to find an item that has something
specific to it. Be it a colour or feature, it can be time consuming to search
through lists, esspecially when the feature is buried in the examination and not
the appearance. Thus it's time for something awesome.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #1: Introduce a new feature that will search through
 appearance, dropped, comms, and examination that uses
 a keyword(s). Ideally, we could search through them
 all at once or a specific category. <TRADE>
 <ALL|APPEARANCE|DROPPED|COMMS|EXAMINED> <KEYWORDS>
 could be a possible syntax.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #2: In addition to the above, add other categories like
 taste and designer.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #3: In addition to 1 or 2, be truly awesome and make it
 accept logical input such as AND or OR or phrases.

Would this search through only designs that the searcher is able to make, or
would anyone be able to use it? In either case, any or all please, would be
great.

I was thinking it would be for designs one had access to make, but I'm
supportive of making it more universal so anyone can search.

I'd suggest changing it to <trade verb> <catagorphy>
[ALL|APPEARANCE|DROPPED|COMMS|EXAMINED] <keyword>, which would parse to
something like BOOKBINDINGS JOURNAL COMMS ALLIGATOR, or RECIPES ALL SOUP ALL
CARROT

Whatever works best. I only gave the syntax as an example; I trust the furies
and what not can decide that if they accept the report.

Now that it's finalised, I would like to say Solution 3, because it would be
totally awesome. (But at least 1 or 2!)

Yes, please.
