I don't know exactly how you call to your database, Gaia, but I'm sure that you can apply filters to the search you make in the marketplace.
I mean...it's a mess. A total mess. Even the HTML code is a mess. Search by words and price is way too limited when we talk about millions of items. So, filtering is needed.
Suggestion
Filter by Type
You've already the types, but maybe you could categorize. Filter out RIG's, Animal, Game, Premium,Gold Shop, etc.
Filter by Color
Not exactly needed, but something that could be cool.
Filter by Date
Since you've already the graphs I'm assuming you already have data to work with this. It's cool to filter out the things released in certain period of time. Especially useful for those who go back to Gaia from time to time (like me) and always hate not knowing what new things were released.
It would be awesome if you could improve your database for better search but I realize that it's way harder to do than to say since there is way too many and changing it could be catastrophic...But maybe you have a column there unused that you could use to cross tables.(I'm assuming sql, ignore me if it's completely different.)
PS: If you can revamp the Marketplace as a whole, it would be cool. Ordering your wishlist by price would be something awesome.
