Seems to be pretty powerful extension but can't imagine someone to have so much cluttered assets to need even fraction of available options. But it's so much better than having myriad of input boxes. |

That is a bit unfair. A packaged titan can't have a unique name. When I take them out for a spin I'll give them a proper deserving name and smash some horrendously expensive bottle for the occasion... every time.

Neat, would it be possible to allow asset search to look inside station containers?
I use station cans a lot to organize my items; the game can lag for me when having to load 500+ icons in one inventory, so being able to only open the can I need is invaluable, but the I can't search my assets when off-stqtion, and have to use the 'view container contents' feature, which for some reason has no search bar, or most of the table cols you can enable in regular inventories. |

Would also be very usefull if the asset search could search for items inside containers or ship cargohold with keywords like container:true and cargo:true ? I'm asking this cause I find it a bit funny that 3'rd party applications can do that based on the API information, but the in-game search can't (at least the old one couldn't, haven't got around to test this new one yet).
If this is generally well received we will be looking in to introducing filtering this to other places like corp assets and even inventory filters.
As for the cargo and containers that has to do with nested database queries (read: lots of DB load) but why it differs from the 3rd party API is something I'll look into. Won't make any promises about that though.

This, very very much this.
And while you're at it, could you simply copy and paste this code into the Corp Assets search box? That'd be all kinds of useful. |

This is an excellent chage, but could you add another UI element next to the search button that when clicked/rolled over will display all of the switches that can be used in the search. I don't think I will be able to remember them all off the top of my head, although in fairness the majority of them are pretty straight forward.

Better reply: Honestly, this isn't Google circa 1998. Text-based search keywords are a thing of the past (and also not very user friendly / easy to remember). Add a new window for the extra stuff.
Personally, I very much like the way that Apple implemented filters in iTunes. Add a search type, add a "includes", "is", "is not", "does not include", etc, and then optionally add more filters. It's quite similar to how Sysinternals Microsoft does filters in Process Monitor. TBQH, all search-type queries should be like that IMO.

about the new neat asset search feature, if we could have a blank toolbar thingy with 10 buttons where we could save our predefined searches and name them(so we dont have to type over and over), like:
My logistic ships : category:ship group:logi
yes I know the commands are remembered, but over time the autofill gets filled with random nonsense we type when were not looking at the screen
so, on-screen-buttans where we bind our search thingies |

First time doing a search, make a deep search into everything that player owns and cache it on the local computer. Also set a timestamp on all containers (hangars, cargoholds, and so on) on both the server and on the cache. Make the server side timestamp update each time the contents of a container is touched. After that, when doing searches only check if the timestamps differ, if they do, fetch that data from the server, if they don't, just use the local cache. |

I dont see much need for it, as far as eve is concerned all items in sma's and hangars in w-space are owned by corporation due to being on pos's.
We are better off using the api\datadumps and setup our own tools to make sense of it. We already need to map our hangars with what tower it is anchored on and wich one it is (we obviously have 6+ hangars per pos)
Simply put I don't think CCP has anywhere near the right data to actualy make something like this work for wormhole dwellers since that is data we create for ourselves and each corp would do it differently.
Now What I would realy like to see CCP spend time on is a corp bookmark API and a IGB function to make warp-to links in the website. That way I could setup a page where we searched a cached version of the assets, list who owns it, where it is in our structures and have a warpto link to a corp bm so they can easily go find it (or warp to links for where someone lives in the IGB)
(And don't get me wrong ILOVEU for corp bookmarks but could we have more than 200?, Maybe as an extra service from concord at a monthly fee?) |

i SECOND topic reply #36:
include, in some way, the search (or exclusion/exclusive) of CONTAINERS.
i'd like to know what shiny things ive missplaced these 2+years
^.^
ninja edit: also, could you make it so when you hold the cursor over a container it shows the m3 used in the container?? might save some hassle during search/re-labeling. i know you guys work hard!!! |

What about adding a search interface similar to the one for the contracts? That is sort of the point. The initial change was to simplify the interface. We don't want to clutter our interface with every conceivable search term in an assortment of tick boxes and drop down menus. When most people don't understand half of the options. Yet we want to allow power users to have access to those options. I agree that more can be done to present players with what options are available and we have plans to improve that.
I totally agree with this. The existence of people who are afraid of typing keywords and learning things shouldn't hold everyone else back from having a powerful search tool.
Most people don't know how to work Google search at more than a very basic level, but the advanced searching stuff is there for those who take the time to learn it. |

When we added the "sort by" options earlier this year we had to expand the minimum width of the assets window and that apparently made some people very sad because they stacked their assets window with some other small windows. So making the minimum size small again will hopefully make those same people happy again - I thought this was very important to mention in the blog CCP Punkturis | EVE UI Developer |

I disagree. It's very tedious doing a complex filter with all the click, click, click, click, click, click, click, scroll, click, click, click. I'd much rather type it it, as it's faster.
I've set up lots of smart playlists in iTunes and while it is a cool feature, I'd rather be able to type it. Also, to nest criteria, you have to control-click, which isn't obvious. As simple as it is to use, I bet it's still considered an "advanced" feature and that the vast majority of users have no idea how to use it. |

Come on, you really think you have to be a programmer to understand how this works? I think "computer literate" is the word you're looking for.
I mean, if you want to only find things in Dodixie, type system:dodixie. How complicated is that, really? |

As a programmer who specializes in search technology, I was wondering what back-end technology you are using for this, or if it is something completely custom? The syntax is almost Solr like; however, that could just be the front end syntax of course.
