please can you provide the following info: what shard you’re on what client you’re on what search terms you’re using what filters you have selected the time (and timezone) of your search
and what item/s you’re expecting to find
As I have managed to find all items I was looking for on ATL the last few days, (granted I too had issues and had to try a few variations in key words)
I tell you the truth, tis better to do 10 damage on the right target than 100 damage on the wrong target.
Start tomororrow night: Try between 6pm central and 10 pm central on Atlantic. Search for power scrolls for pets 110s thru 120. Search rubble. See how long it takes you to make a complete search of all the rubble for sale on Atl.
ATL CC 120 Scroll xxx, scroll xxx, tran xxx, tran xxx scroll. etc. why does it matter, its broke! see above. its broke! est. see above, its broke! really???, I'm expecting what I'm looking for? Wtf do you think I am looking for?

Humble pie?
But hey, those 23rd anniversary chrome plated books are just beautiful, I personally love them.
Vendor search is broke. BAD. Now affecting more then Atlantic. Known bug and no communication from the Devs. This should be fixed ASAP unlike the multitude of non game changing bugs you seem to search out.
New game content has been at a stand still for what, like 9 months? Maybe 1/3 of our team is trying to reproduce some of the nonsense you report?
The best time I have noticed to do a vendor search on Atlantic is right before server down (5 am) and right after server up (5:30 am). Got my self some 120 scrolls this morning at 5:45 am. Well 2:45 am for me.
i try not to report anything until i know the steps to reproduce, in fact, i do a lot of work on other people's reports to try and find the steps to reproduce to save the devs time.
The particular bug thread you commented on, were just incorrect/outdated spell descriptions which would take 5 mins to correct. I even wrote out what the sentences should read, so they could copy paste...
I even hold back on bugs, i have a couple of exploits for roof and underwater that i haven't bothered to report as i don't want to overwhelm them. As i think it's more important for them to do a quick 5 min job correcting a spell description, than worry about people pulling the dragon off the roof on belfry or gating into underwater with pets sans quest completed. Or getting double/triple chance of roof drop.

I will be slow to reply because I cannot log in/stay logged in to the forums. Make this your signature if you are tired of Vendor Search being broken, over 4 years and counting. Vendor search rendered useless after Publish 106 – Forsaken Foes on August 14, 2019.
if you use the EC you can use that and throw in "LEG" and only get legendary scrolls. not saying it doesn't have issues, but there are ways to get around it. it will lock up every time you try to use more than one word in the search term. been having a lot of success with the menus and one word. but there definitely is an issue with VS because sometime nothing works.
I need a recipe. Can not use the clicky choices for those. Too Vague after a long wait.
What recipe? I just typed in "bladed" and got recipes, same for "barbed", and "spiked". Also, "Darden" returned all the Darden's armor pieces. This was all on Atlantic just now.
If I typed "bladed recipe", or any two-word combo...your search is too vague. If I typed "bladedrecipe"...no items matched your search.
You might want to try your recipe search with a single word identifier. I'd do it fast though, pretty sure whatever is happening, even one word searches will be unusable in short order. That's the way it was before.
Emergent gameplay within Vendor Search. Probably not the intended design.
it worked well because 95% of the items database wasnt on vendorsearch. as soon as all items refreshed it started not working again, there is just too many items on atlantic lets be honest, all the bods books not for sale also im sure that doesnt help with the searchs

Bod books not for sale appear on search? surely those vendors are all opted out?
@Mariah I have never searched bods through vendor search, but I can imagine the struggle to find a bod.... I just hope the bods do not slow down the searchs tho in any way , even tho most of them are set not for sale as players use vendors to store the bods without taking storage in your house , that was with the old fee vendor , not new ones, those take storage I beleive.
Ahhhhh they did. We had a hard restart. The VS was reloading items back in the system. If you read the message on load up to the game it told you what was going on. Yes its taking its sweet time to load, and yes you get the above message if the system is bogged down. The old code plays hell with new code and you as a UO player should know this, Every time the next patch loads up it shoves the old code and a fight ensues which is the root of this trouble. This goes beyond EC or CC code mind you. Give the dev time.. I know we are so use to using the VS that many have forgot how to go shopping the old way. Slow down think of a word or partial of the title of what your looking for and give it a try. You just might be surprised it pops up. Oh and give it time... Speed is not a strong point these days with it.

Want a slice? On me!
Glad you like the new gifts, I do too!

This is Atlantic:
Been using that method to find power scrolls for years. I can change the type easily.
Looks like I need to restock my vendor.
You can find scrolls on atlantic now if you dont search by item name.
What about Spellweaving and the other scrolls not in the groups? There are 23 skills not in the groups.
How do I find rubble with this method? Granite? Rocks? Scores of other items.
Never be afraid to challenge the status quo
okay maybe it’s not without fault, but you can find what you’re looking for

Probably!!
Because is back again to the old Too Vague... @Kyronix @Bleak
Maybe the Big Announcement will be that they will finally Fix VS.
