search option for Gem Exchange
Forum-Index → Suggestions → Rejected → search option for Gem Exchangefor example say i need fire gems and i have a lot of water gems, i type in fire in the offering search bar and every offer that has fire gems in it shows up, the offers can have other gems as well, but they would always have the gems in the search.
now i still have my abundance of water gems and i want to get rid of them without having to search through the list for a long time, so i type water in the requesting search bar and every offer which is asking for water gems pops up, again the offers can have other gems but each offer would have to be asking for the gem in the search bar.
this would make it a lot easier to trade gems because you could get around the hassle of hundreds of offers that you cant or wont accept either way.
You can just use Ctrl + F To search for your desired gem(s).
If you want to find people offering say, 5 water gems, type : Water Gem (x5) in the box which appears after pressing Ctrl+ F.
If you want to find people looking for say again, 5 water gems, type: Water Gem ( [Number of water gems you currently have]/5) in the same box.

even with ctrl F you still have all the clutter of the other offers, with the search function im suggesting those other offers would be hidden so that you could put all your attention to the offers you need.
and what about people playing on mobile devices? there is no ctrl F on those, so they are doomed to search through hundreds of offers that have nothing to do with them to find 1 offer that they want, its not fair to anyone not to have a built in search function on a market. and not only is it unfair it just doesnt make sense not to have one.
Let take GTS as an example, u got a choice to search for a pokemon u looking for, at the same time u got a choice to look at all the offers. If this gem exchange have a search bar, i dont have to open up all the offers and look at the whole list where some offers are not what i am looking for.
Even with ctrl F, mobile devices does not have this function. I believe these search bar will be able to help us to have a smaller range of offers and filter out those offers which does not contain the gem i am looking for. At the same time i am able to look at all those offers that include what i am searching for or ppl offering.
In conclusion, i agree and support this idea. GTS, auction and berry market have a search for each individual pokemon/berries. Why not add in gem exchange search bar? Where we can exchange gems easier with a concise page of the offers without looking at offers which doesnt concern me.
You can always use ctrl+f, it isn't that hard to do it. On mobile, if you press the =/setting, a bar will 'pop' out and there should be a 'find a keyword' button, which highlights the word,but it varies on mobile devices.
I'm neutral, I don't go to the gem exchange much unless it's for a gem trade I have with someone.
