Improving the Collectible Card Search Filter Page
Hi guys!
Recently I've tried using the collectible card filter page here on OoC, and while the filtering function seems to be very efficient and quick, one window in particular was a bit difficult to use. The specific window I'm talking about is the expansion selector - it is rather small compared to the amount of things you can select from. While I do understand that the window is built the way it is because it allows for multiple selections (and not a simple drop-down menu like the rest of the inputs on that page), it is a bit janky to use on the user-side of things.
I've put together a proposed solution (quickly, in paint - don't judge ^_^) in which the "expansion" window is simply enlarged to be the size of 2 "lines" (vertically speaking). This allows for way more lines to be displayed and makes it easier to navigate and select from. I have to preface this by saying I don't possess any technical knowledge regarding implementation - so I might be proposing something which is impossible or just not worth the hassle - but I think it would be great if something like this could be done.
Couldn't find a way to upload an image here, here's a link to imgur: https://imgur.com/9nv7UTs
Would love to hear your opinions!

Didn't get any response, I'm trying to bump this a bit.
Hope I'm not breaking any rules by doing so, but I couldn't find a forum rules section... Maybe add it somewhere easily accessible?
Sorry for no response so far, we get a lot of feedback (which is very much appreciated) but we don't always have time to respond. Also Flux is the code guy so the rest of us can't really promise much. But that would definitely be an improvement, I hope it's easy to implement.
About forum rules...I think we haven't written those yet so they are indeed a bit hard to find :D Luckily you people who have found your way here have been acting superbly so there hasn't been a need for them. But we definitely need to write those at near future. This thread bump wouldn't break any rules though.
Also: Paint-made pictures are the best pictures.
I complained about this in another thread. Flux said that visual improvements were planned, so hopefully this'll get addressed. They know about the problem, at least.
On a related note, I'd really like to be able to search for card text at some point. Had to go back to hearthpwn just for that D:
I could have sworn that the "proposed layout" by Snailborne was what we actually had lol. Maybe it was changed after a while, but yeah, the current window is way too small and makes things uncomfortable. The card search engine is not in its final form by a long shot, but lets hope this QOL feature will get back sooner rather than later haha :)
About being able to filter by keywords and card text, definitely something that will be added.

Thanks for the replies - it certainly clears some things up, and I'm glad that my idea seems to resonate with other people :)
