More in depth search feature for the Auction house.

Not sure if this is intended or if it's a bug, so putting it in suggestions.

The auction house search system is very non functional.
Only the first word of an item can be entered into the search and get results, unless you type out the entire name exactly.

For instance, if someone is searching for a specific item modification, for instance or the wolf, or of the bear type gear for specific stats, you cannot do so.
You have to search just for the type of armor by class and slot and look it up manually.


It would be very helpful to be able to type in the search a word like "healing" to see all the gear with 'of healing" on the end, instead of having to manually look through all the results of an armor type.
The same goes for specific mats, like searching for bolts of cloth instead of stacks of normal cloth materials.


TLDR
The search function in the auction house should search the entire items name for a match of what you typed, instead of only being able to search for the first word in the items name or an exact entire name of an item.

Patch 1.8.0 (10-Oct-2005):
You can now search for random suffixes such as "of the Monkey" in the Auction House.

When you place an auction up on the Auction House, the auctions tab now displays your minimum bid and buyout price even if there are no bids on the item.


Although, this should already be able to be done given that it is a 1.12.1 client. The way the Auction House functions doesn't seem like something the developers would intentionally make worse, so it may indeed be a bug.
