Welcome to Gaia! :: Default sorting type for Marketplace Item Search

I think Relevancy should be default. =]

With Most Listings, if you typed "Blue Hat," you tend to get hats that aren't blue as the first results.

I'd like an option for both, but a default as relevancy.

Relevancy, but I think it should be stronger than that. If I type in Dark Halo, why am I getting every single Halo Gaia has ever made? If I have the exact name of the item I want, I still have to sort through a giant list to find it? No no no. Bad bad bad. A perfect match with no partial matches should be just that. A perfect match.

Of course, there are some snags... I guess there's ambiguity even there. It just seems strange that if you search for something specific, you get a general list, whereas if you search for something general (like unicorn, hoping to find the Fausto's bottle which CONTAINED a unicorn) you get the Unicorn Horn. Hm.

I'd like it to sort by Price per Item separate from the Buy Now Price so that people could find cheapest price for a multiplied item. For example: If an there are 5 items put up for 1g it would be sorted as 0.20g, which would be lower then, say, 1 item for 1g and would thus appear higher up the list.

Edit: This is quite like what dreamsk recently posted. I'm sorry for repeating it.

It would be nice to have (not as default, but as an option)

Sort by Number of Items
Sort by Cost Per Item

for "stackable" items (tickets, tokens, game items, etc)

edit: OK, it looks like it's been said at least a couple of times. But I'm adding my vote to the idea 3nodding

i like it how it is
