not sure if can alrdy but would be nice if could broker search some specific
slot item or weapon types.... type of item could be asked when broker add
anything.....for example broker search bludgeons etc..... plz do tell if can
alrdy?
Seriously, if you're going to ask for a feature, could you please take a
minute to actually write in sentences, and lose the "..." crap?
Even this broker addition is an ok addition if the coder has some extra time,
but people usually just rate those -1 because they can't be arsed to read such
utterly hideous writing.
And to comment the actual request, can't you just get the item slot from the
item directly? no input needed?

Yes, his writing is atrocious, but the idea isn't horrible. The point he's
making is to be able to search by slot, i.e. broker search torso would return
anything that fills torso slot, or broker search long blade would return any
long blades.

How is the game supposed to know from the item what slot it fills when you
fill in the desc yourself? If I type "waino armour" the game is supposed to
know that's a torso slot somehow?

Well, if you want to increase the odds of your item selling, advertise it
well! That includes listing things like slot(s), condition, names, etc. Then
broker search torso shows up fine.

In other words, let the market sort it out!

Actually, the functionality is there already. It can either take an item from
command input, in which case it finds the item and queries the data (short
description for now) OR you can write the data yourself.
So yes, it could add the slots automatically.
