So, I've many times come across branches that I really like, with good items and good prices. Naturally, I want to come back to the branch, but completely forgotten who owned it, or to bookmark it. Then it's almost impossible to find it again, unless you get really lucky, or remember an item they were selling (And hoping no one bought it!).

That's why I think there should be an option to search for branches, incase you've forgotten to bookmark it. As in the actual name of the branch.

Say you find a nice branch called IKEA, with nice prices n' all that jazz. You buy your item, and continue your day. But later you realize that it was a nice branch that you'd like to re-visit. But, oh no! You've forgotten to bookmark it, and completely forgotten what the owners name was! So here's the idea: Either you can search for the branches name (In this case, it would be IKEA), or see a history of recently visited branches.

Of course, there are some other ways of doing this, but hear me out:
• Yes, you could check your transaction history.
But, my point is that there are a lot of players buy A LOT of things, or
maybe it was ages ago, and you haven't thought of the idea to check the
TH until now. Plus that not everybody knows about it, or have forgotten.
Especially new players.

• Why don't you just search for the player ID? The branch is visible in their
desc!
Well, as i previously mentioned, it happens to me (And I imagine quite a
few others) that you've forgotten their name, or maybe they have the
most complicated name of all time. And I don't really expect someone to
just remember an ID without reason...

• Even if there are other solutions that are a bit complicated, can't you just
ask for help?
Of course you can, but I think it's better with a very clear solution,
instead of more intricate (And sometimes next-to impossible ways) of
doing it, considering that they don't always work.

I think it would be a small, but useful thing.

EDIT: I got a great idea from the user Thalmor, which could also be added for the branch-searching:

•Having a list of the branches you've recently purchased from.

I'd love to hear why you agree or not, or other suggestions to this idea. Thank you! :)

Kinda don't really understand the concept, as I do agree with Rappadapa. But I'll hand over a support anyway being this IS a nice idea.

I like this idea also because it gives players a chance to browse based on what kind of stock the branch carries - let's say you are exclusively looking for shops with custom decor in them, you can say "custom decor" and it'll pull up anyone who's named their shop something on the "custom decor" variation.

My only hesitation as far as implementation-side goes would be - would this force players to give their branch a unique name once they open it?

That's true of course, Kristen. But I don't think this has to be the case, since you could pair it with stuff like player name and ID, just like the player-search page! It also sorts out results based on what you searched for, not the exact word you wrote in.

To put it in an example: Even though there are multiple kings with a name that has the word "Soul" in it, doesn't mean you have to remember their exact name, you can just search for soul and browse a tiny bit until you find it, or combine it with a player ID. Considering there is no way two branches could have the same name, AND player name, it would work out perfectly together.

I hope this answers you question, Kristen! And thank you for supporting!

Im not one to give my branch a unique name. Being forced to would be unfair if you like your name how it is.

Yeah, I get that, but I don't think you have to. Read the earlier comment I made, where I got the idea for player ID-related searching as well! If this would get implemented into the game, it would be up to the developers to decide!

I'm not one to really have this dilemma since I don't buy from branches very often. However, I have seen some really nice branches that had great prices, and if I had the chance I would revisit them if I knew how to find them again.


+ 1 Support from me! ^_^

I like this. Being one who has a unique branch name on both main & side's it could be an option to either search Name and or User's ID.

But maybe have an option where its like "has these words" if doing by branch name..

In case you dont remember the whole name
For instance my branch is ○ Fairy Tail Guild○
So you could search "Fairy" "Tail" "Guild" or all together and still get it.. Cause not everyone can do the circles..

I think that sounds great! It was sort of what I was trying to explain in an earlier comment, but I suck at explaining... :> Yours is much clearer! But that's something I think should be taken into consideration, since some branches have complicated names, to say the least.

Again, thank you for supporting! It's very appreciated!

Something that would be just as cool is subscribing to branches like you do topics. It sends you a notif anytime they put something for sale in the branch you're subscribed to.

You've forgotten the name of the branch owner and to bookmark it but you think people will remember the branch name?

I see where you're coming from with that, but you don't need to remember the exact name. Like maybe just a keyword, like "Star" or "Cheap Prices" and it'll give several examples. Plus, it would be useful for finding a new branch, by just searching for maybe "Custom Decor"! And, as included in the suggestion, a list of recent purchases from branches.

I noticed a few people mentioning the GB/SB transactions. Maybe instead of having a search for branches themselves, there's a section dedicated to branch purchases in the GB/SB transactions. I think what we already have can be improved on instead of creating a whole new search system. As the saying goes, don't fix something that isn't broken

I understand! This suggestion doesn't have to be strictly a search-system if it's too complicated to make, and/or not something people are interested in. But I really do hope it will get easier to find branches in the future, be it with a search or not.
