Player Features and Ideas Discussion

With regards to the AB example (and module search in general) I am very glad that the search does not give every possible result when I enter "10MN Afterburner" because I personally look specifically for the T1/T2 version in this particular instance and do not need every single 10MN AB cluttering up the search results. If I want to look up a meta version, I enter the specific AB's unique name part in the search field (like "10MN Mono" or simply "10MN") to find exactly what I am looking for. As per example below, it would be a pain in the back if that was to change.

What irks me the most with searches is that category fields are randomly expanded or collapsed as well as that the search is way too fuzzy in some instances. Look for a "Sin" and you get Blueprints, Ship mods, Infantry Gear, Ammo, Drones, Structures, Manufacturing stuff and so on as results simply because there is "sin" mentioned somewhere in the name of an item. And Blue prints and Ship mods have a long list of items completely drowning the actual Sin under loads of clutter because their categories are expanded instead of collapsed. The search result sorting and category expanding/collapsing needs improvement.

However, entering abbreviations of short forms of a name should indeed yield search results.
