Market Search QoL: Hide names of shops that don't contain the searched item

Hi everyone,


I’d like to share a quick quality of life suggestion for the market search system.

Current Feature Feedback

Currently, when searching for a specific item in a crowded market area, navigating through the results can be quite tedious. Even if the shop containing the item is highlighted, the sheer volume of surrounding shop names and titles creates a lot of visual clutter, making it hard to pinpoint exactly where I need to go.

The Suggestion

I suggest modifying the market search function so that when a player searches for an item, only the shops that actually have that item in stock will display their shop names. The names of all other shops that do not contain the item should be temporarily hidden until the search is cleared.

Ideally, this would be introduced as a toggleable option (a checkbox in the search UI or settings), allowing players to turn this feature on or off based on their personal preference.

Impact on the Game

This change would be purely visual and would heavily improve the user experience:

  • Reduced Visual Clutter: Players won't be overwhelmed by hundreds of overlapping shop names on their screen.
  • Time-Saving: It allows players to quickly identify which shops to visit, streamlining the trading process.
  • Balanced: It doesn't negatively impact the game's economy or automate the buying process; it simply makes the existing search tool more readable and user-friendly.
What do you think about it? :)
