Help with Vendor Search feature.

I've been practicing leveling to improve my times. I find eyeballing the vendor inventory to be slower. Its me, never been good at that kind of thing.

Fiddling around with the search feature I found that if I need specific coloured sockets on gear I can type in something like this.

I don't actually type it, I paste it from my clipboard so its quick.

G-G-R and it shows up. Nice but!

#1 Its specific to socket order so I actually need

G-G-R G-R-G R-G-G

But it doesn't work. What does work is

!G-G-R !G-R-G !R-G-G

The item I want is the only one not highlighted. Good, but you can't hover over the item and see the socket colours anymore. If I need multiple socket groups I can't tell which is which.

eg.
!G-G-R !G-R-G !R-G-G !B-B-B !nn

The nn finds run speed shoes.

Is there a way to do this in the POSITIVE. ie. highlight the ones I actually want.

I can still use the strategy. I just have to remember where the disabled items were so at least its quicker to tell me if there is something to see or not.

G-R-G|G-G-R|R-G-G should work for what you are trying to accomplish. The | character stands for "or".

I tried the | symbol but I had spaces before and after it.

Very helpful. Thanks!
