VendorSearch

Table of Contents

This project is abandoned and its default file will likely not work with the most recent version of World of Warcraft. Whether this project is out of date or its author has marked it as abandoned, this project is no longer maintained.

Creates a search bar to search through a vendor's items.
You are now able to find much faster the item you want.

Please update to the last version (4.0) to enjoy a way better version of VendorSearch! (see changelog)

VendorSearch also allows you to filter the items in a vendor frame. You can choose to hide the things you can't wear, can't buy etc...

Depending on your settings, you will be able to see only the items corresponding to your search, or just hide by opacity-changing the items that are not corresponding to your search.

Since version 4.0, the interface has been completely enhanced to focus on what needs to be done : search.
It's now faster and more efficient than before. Please download version 4.0 now !
The dropdown menu is now gone, as users used 99% of the time the "by name" search.

Since version 1.98, the frame is refreshed with the right results when you change page.

Since version 1.9, you have more filters to precise your search : you can search by name, type, subtype, price <, price >, rarity. (see screenshots).

Since version 1.5, you can choose your own type of "hiding mode". If you want to see only what you're looking for, there is a "Full Hiding Mode", which just keeps what you want. For those who still want to see what the Merchant sells, but the results of the search at the same time, the "Opacity Hiding Mode" is perfect. It set the alpha of the non-result items a bit lower so the items you're looking for are like "highlighted".

Will there be a full text search for all item information?

The only thing I don't like about this is it seems to conflict with chat and shortcut commands when you have your vendor window open. Is there no way to remove focus from the vendor window when you wish to opperate chat or other windows via shortcut commands?

Likely why you don't see anything: the recently released v4.2.1 is bugged.

It throws an error at logon (which you won't see if you don't turn on the Blizzard error reporting or run a bug catcher mod) which kills the mod. I filed a ticket on the WowAce site for this problem here: http://www.wowace.com/addons/vendorsearch/tickets/6-bug-on-logon-mod-non-functional/.

Fixed the 1st bug, thanks

Looking at the 2nd one, it didn't do that before, I guess 4.2 made it do that ><

Hmm ... can't you pull the information from the tooltips somehow?
I don't now how WoW handles this (if you can read the tooltip information when not hovering the item) but e.g. RatingBuster seems to be able to read the stats from the tooltip and displays additional information - so at least in that area it seems to be retrieveable somehow.

If it's still not possible I guess looking for the color + fading out known recipes will help a lot, too.

I looked up for this kind of info and how they could be retrieved but there is like no way it's possible to do... But at least I could actually make it easier to people with the subType filter because I can filter items like red gems, meta gems, etc. but I can't give you what they will give....

I will see if there is any way to know what stats the recipes give, and then, if there is, it sure will be implemented :D

Is there a possibility to filter by stats? That would be a *huge* help for e.g. the jewelcrafting vendor, so that you can search for e.g. "stamina" and get all recipes with that stat highlighted.

I'll try to keep it updated as soon I I have some time for it, and to make it "less useless" for 3.2 :P

This addon is virtually useless in 3.2. I hope it gets updated soon, as I find it very convenient.

all right, well "thx" (you don't want me to say thanks lol) for advices, and ideas, I'll think about like a "personnalized filter", so you can define your rules and get even better results :D

and, about moving items in order to have them faster, it's not that easy... but I think it's possible to kind of bypass that and create like a little external frame that shows you want you want in a single place.... good idea too :D

Hello,

I just tested that configuration and actually you're right, it doesn't really work as it should do if you choose these options... I actually designed these options to hide the non-results items if you're currently searching for something. I think you were not, and you were expecting the addon to still hide them. Good point : that makes me think of enabling the hiding/filtering directly, not only if there is a search.

That "bug" is corrected in version 1.94 ;)

Thanks ! :D

By the way, I don't think that the addon will be able to filter reagents you don't use... it would be to much work to create all the possibilities, but if I find an API to know if it's used.... ;)
