trade center should have a search feature

Who else agrees it would be 100 times easier to get what you need if you could search available items in the trade center ?

    Back in initial rollout I suggested the developers consider a category search but there seems to be a very myopic attitude at EA's SC team.

    Global Exchange Improvement plan I proposed:

    OPTION I

    All items can be easily categorized (listed below) and players can pick a maximum of 3 search categories upon entering GHQ. The icons shown would be the same as those in the game with the specialty items using the city storage image.

    Of the 24 slots shown in the Global HQ window, a minimum of 9 slots will feature items from players requested search categories. The rest are randomized under the existing algorithm. 

    • Factory itemsI (11)    

    • Building Supplies (5)  

    • Farmer's Market 👿  

    • Furniture (4)    

    * Fashion (4) 

     • Hardware Store (5)  

     • Donut Shop (5)  

    • Fast Food (5)  

    • Gardening (5)  

    • Home Appliances (4)

    • Specialty Items  (12)  Expansion 🏀; Capacity 🏀 VuTower 🏀 TokyoTown 🏀

    OPTION 2

    A PACING ITEM search tool where players select a maximum of 3 items from a pick list but there is a cost (SimCash/Simoleons) for use. 

    Mayor - Duckleston upon Keys

    (I think they prefer we spend SimCash to acquire much needed items)

    I like the idea, but the main goal of the programmers is to keep it a little difficult so, some will spend real money buying simoleans. I am level 65 with 1.5 million population, I haven't had any problems so far and now I have a lot of patience 😉
