On one hand I'm glad I can post stuff like Wizard Oil now. On the other hand, the slowdown when the list is being generated (and regenerated after every post) in the Post tab is pretty bad.
Made some improvements, should be much faster now between postings.

You know how you can't search for items by suffix (Eagle, Gorilla, of Healing, of [Elemental] Wrath, etc)? Back when I was doing some gear catchup to get up to par for raiding, I would search for these items by searching for their pseudo-prefix i.e. Celestial, High Councillor's, Master's, etc. Would it be possible to 1. compile an internal list of all of these possible pseudo-prefixes from any database site, then 2. upon searching for a suffix, doing a search of all these items, then parsing the items by suffix after the fact, and displaying these results to the user?
Anyway, thanks!
You can do this and even better with the filter search panel's tooltip filter.
The full name (including suffixes) is also part of the tooltip so you can just add a filter "of the monkey". Sometimes you need more specific filters though. 4/4 scouting gloves of the monkey are a very rare twink item, 3/3 scouting gloves of the monkey are practically worthless. If you want to search for 4/4 you can add the filters "+4 agility" and "+4 stamina". This will also match e.g. 4/4 rigid gloves of the monkey if you leave out the name filter.
Whatever filters you enter, only the items having a matching tooltip entry for every filter will be shown.
Of course this sort of query isn't supported by blizzard so it won't reduce the result size to be parsed. It makes sense to narrow down the search by selecting for example "armor - leather" from the category dropdown. (note that this may be more or less efficient than what you suggested depending on whether the category has more or less pages than the total of prefix names that can have the suffix. Even on the pvp server there aren't that many armor pages though in my experience so it generally should be more efficient than individual name queries)
