I love the Auction house. I've got a mule parked there just specifically so I can log over periodically, scan, and then snap up any bargains and either stash them for tradeskills, send them to an alt, or resell them if it's an item that has been severely under priced. (I can't tell you how many copies of the Savory Deviate Delight recipe I've bought from the AH for 40s that I resold for at least 5g.) But I have to admit, I've never thought that the search interface was too terribly good. Then I saw a blue reply to a forum request for changes to the auction house that made me a happy panda. According to Eyonix:...We're also working to improve our user-interface, which includes the auction house. Below are some of the changes slated to be implemented for the next patch.
- The Auction House now has a reset button that will reset all fields you have entered to allow you to quickly try a different search.
- When items are being put up for sale on the Auction House, if the item you are putting up for bid is the same item and quantity as the previous item you put up for bid, it will automatically fill in the price and buyout for you with your previous price.
- Gems are now searchable in the Auction House under the heading of Gem with the gems then broken up by color so you can search for all gems of a specific color.
And I lest I forget -- Hooray searchable gems by color in case you missed it in the previous patch notes!

How about colouring recipes/patterns/so on we already know, differently, since we're ripping off AH mods and adding functionality that should of been there at launch?

There are addons that already do at least the first two things for you- AHwipe does the first. I'm not a huge AH fan so I can't name the second addon, but I have seen it out there.

They'll never implement the same kind of tracking that Auctioneer provides, but I can see them ripping off a lot of the general UI features that it's handy for.

@ Savok - That's a nifty idea. I'm hoping they'll implement sorting recipes by difficulty level, myself.
@ Arispere - I have Auctioneer, and that does the first two. However, I'm always glad when Blizz implements good ideas gleaned from popular mods. The more they do that, that means less mods I have to chase down after patches. After all, I don't know anyone who likes having to deal with a broken UI after a patch.

They really need to have the AH broken up into a lot more categories, and be able to search on stats, not just name.

@Savok
Doesn't it already sort on patterns you don't know if you tick the useable items box?
