When you select People and places, and want to change the search from say "Character" to "Solar system" you have to scroll down each and every time. Characters and solar system name searches account for 99% + of all searches from this bar. The bar is listed alphabetically, but IMO should be ranked by usefulness.. When is the last timer anyone searched for "Corp ticker"? But you must scroll past it to get to solar system. I know that this very tiny annoyance. But it is annoying nonetheless. Really simple fix-move "Character" to top of search, and follow it with "Solar system"
This is my first post sorry if I violated rules etc, I read them and think I did this right. I also didn't see this on the frequently posted section. Love ya guys and gals at CCP |

Have you any idea how annoying it would get to search for an item in that list, say "Alliance Ticker" if it was not alphabetical? Right now, you'd look for "Alliance" Starts with A, so before "Corp"...
Maybe the name should be changed, to "Ticker (Corp)" and "Ticker (Alliance)". That makes more sense than the other option...

Edited by: Daedalus II on 12/05/2009 12:40:53 I don't see why there should be a need to say what you search for at all. As far as I know all names in eve are mutually exclusive. There can be one and only one entety with the same name. Therefore when you search for something (if you spelled it correctly) there can only be one result regardless of what it is.
What you could have is a way to sort the results by what they are. I'm thinking the resulting list from a people and places search would have these fields:
Name ^ | Type Name A | Solar system Name B | Solar system Name C | Corp ticker
And then you just sort according to what you want.

No no and no... This will make a list of result even bigger... Especially names of Characters would spoil it... Have u ever tried finding characters with few first letters? They give u dozens of results, and they give u only some first results alfabeticaly, not every name that starts with that letters... First of all list should be as long as it may be needed and only after that, maybe this change will work...
And about list. There should be 2 lists. there should be 3-5 most often used items at top of the list and after that alphabetical list. Like choice of type in Microsoft Word... ------------------------------------------------- I am envoy from nowhere in nowhere. Nobody and nothing have sent me.

The ticker search is the only search function I use. lol
If you want to find a system/character/item/corp type the first couple letters into chat and then try to auto-link it. Rather than spamming it into the chat to get rid of the link just press ctrl+up.
