The current way the system works, is that you can only pull up the exact item from the database if you use the exact same term. ie: Caster Amulet.
This will cause less than optimal searching and filtering, especially once the "list view" of trades is implemented. People tend to like more useful information in their title.
Example: 2/20 Sin Amulet vs "Caster Amulet"
Ex 1: post14935.html#p14935 - Example of common, informative title
Ex 2: trade/caster-amulet-t8761.html - Example of 'properly' titled "Caster Amulet"
Currently, the only way the filtering/sorting system properly identifies this as "crafted" is via example 2. However seeing a list full of "Caster Amulet" is not conducive to finding the item you want.
These same principles apply to trading and finding Ethereal and Superior items, as we cannot add those stats into titles; yet both would be important stats to find at a glance.
Solution 1: Checkboxes on trade creation for certain variables such as Crafted/Superior/Ethereal.
Solution 2: Smart or "Fuzzy" item look-up when typing the title. - IE You could type "15 ED eth Berserker Axe" and still be given the option to select the " Berserker Axe" item.
#2 would help with informative titles, however not necessarily with filtering specifically for eth or sup items, which is currently only possible via searching from the search bar.
Implementing both solutions would be a best-of-both-worlds scenario imo. Better item sorting/filtering with checkboxes + more information in item titles possible when reading trades via a List View.
