Proposal
3 things I would like to see to improve inventory searching in AO: search bar in your inventory and trade menu inventories, a category for ship items in the sell menu, and ability to chose how much of what item to sell
Details
Search bars:
There should be a search bar somewhere in the inventory gui as well as the trade menu gui
Ship item category:
In the sell menu in shops, there should also be another tab that filters out items to show ship parts only, or in other words, the stuff only shows up if you open up the shipyard menu.
Quantity of items to sell:
Instead of the sell all button when you select an item to sell, we should have the ability to input the number of items we want to sell, whether that would be by inputting it by keyboard or by pressing buttons like buying multiple of the same item.
Reason to add
Search bar:
There might be a specific item that you may be searching for in your inventory, or from another player if you are trading, and your inventory is so clogged that you cant find the item youre looking for even with the help of filters and sorters (eg. too many different common rarity items). The search bar will be an easier way to help find the very specific item you need.
Ship item category:
Shops can only show ship items in the sell menu if youre under the all items category. We should be able to easily select and sell ship items when things like sails are so common and come in many designs that you prob dont want.
Quantity of items to sell:
You probably have a huge excess of certain items and you want to make bank, but you don’t want to sell all of them for certain reasons, such as a future update making them usable. This feature should allow you to sell most, but not all of your items.
