Thank you for your comment Dakota! Although, in my mind's eye, I can only imagine what it takes to "tweak" current tools within Second Life, I am not an expert. I DO believe it is possible to "tweak" things. And your reply confirms that. As to what degree the "tweakage" would require, is another matter entirely! lol So, bottom line is upgrading some elements, are low on the list of priorities. As for Inventory management, I am well aware of what it takes to keep my closet neat and orderly. It's just a shame that it couldn't be a little easier. But of course, this requires a village to work together. Maybe some day we'll see an advanced Inventory maintenance system. Thank you!

Thank you Whirly, for your "work arounds". And thank you Arduenn, for your views on this AND the great screenshot , which represents how many search results are returning for ANYTHING searched. This shows exactly what I was referring to in my original post. Whirly, the current work around for searching specific items, using the "filters", works in some cases. And these may have been more functional before gachas hit the grid. But now, I believe Marketplace needs to be updated to accommodate users from both ends. Posting of merchandise AND searching for merchandise. I'm sure the fix is relatively simple. I don't think a major program rewrite would be necessary. Just a tweak here and there. This would be a huge benefit to all, including Linden Labs. I believe there may even be a potential for increased sales, thus in turn profits for all. Again, I am not "anti-gacha" and believe there is a place for gacha resales. But, something needs to be done, behind the scenes on Marketplace to reorganize the search function, as well as the form one must fill out when posting an item for sale. I don't see any other solution at this time. Also, since there is no "naming convention" by creators when creating products, our inventories can get pretty messy. I do my best to stay organized with mine. I believe there should also be new buttons created when naming and saving objects. This in turn would help narrow down searches and quite possible the load on the server? For example: Initial saving of an item will run the creator thru some check boxes before being able to save the item. Category: Hair? Clothes? Shoes? Jewelry? Decor? Animation? GACHA? etc. etc. etc. Maybe something this simple could benefit everyone from many angles. A creator has limited characters to type name of item. If by checking one of the main categories, lightens the load in having to add it into the name of the item, then upon searching inventory OR subsequently Marketplace, The search could be narrowed down even more. Just a thought. Another thought, regarding Gacha resales and Marketplace listings. Option to select "Is this a Gacha Resale"? And maybe some fields must be filled out appropriately or the listing will not populate. Can't think of what those fields are at the moment, but I think there could be some that should be filled out lol. If I can my scribbled notes on my 1001 yellow pads about this solution I'll add them later lol! Anyways, bottom line is it's time for an "Evolution" (plays Nickelback tune in my head.) Thank you Miyushu steps off the podium However,

lol apparently the "p" word was not permitted in my post!

It is June 1st, 2017... went to search for something on marketplace. I set search to "newest first". Apparently, the June Arcade Event started. The search was inundated with resale gachas. Don't get me wrong, I love gachas as much as the next avatar, but this was insane! I'm hoping that there could be a way to evolve marketplace, to offer an option to search for regular products or gacha products, OR BOTH if one chooses. I think there could... I pray their could be. Marketplace is a great tool for merchants in SL. I also think the upload merchant form should have additional fields required to post resale gachas. Such as: "Is this a resale gacha"? click yes or no. I also think there should be a limit to specific words in keywords being allowed, based on what the product is. For example: If the product is "hair", then "*****" should not be permitted. Just thought I'd add in this comment since I have a captive audience. Not happy when I search for hair or other products and I get adult related material or other products, that have nothing to do with the products I'm searching for. It's a waste of my time. And please no replies trying to tell me the earth is a globe... I was already trained about that in school.
