I'm sorry but this has been disturbing me for a long time now, and as a software dev myself it's really annoying me because the majority of these problems are really little tweaks that would make the experience so much better.

Could we please get an HTML5 version of the online Grand Exchange website? It would mean the world to me (and prolly many others) if the following issues were fixed:

- The search indexing is so way off, that typing parts of an item's name returns absolutely no results (for instance san for santa hat, ween for halloween masks). This should be a really easy fix by just looking up the items with a matching infix as the input (String.Contains() in Java and perhaps add a Regex so it doesn't do 1:1 matching). This already exists in the in-game Grand Exchange, where it works fabulously.

- Sorting items by price, alphabetically, descending and ascending, filter combinations, etc... (like on amazon with prime/non prime items for member/free, etc...)

- Add a "Max" graph inside an item's view webpage, that shows an item's entire price history. Even the RuneScape Wiki has this, so it shouldn't be too hard either ;)

I'm sorry if I sound a little mad, but I would really appreciate it if these things got added, as they would make using the online Grand Exchange so much more pleasant.

How is this a recent game update? Even if it was Jagex does not care about its own website nor do they read or reply here. They won't do what you ask because it will take up way to much development time and they will have to make sure it works with every type of browser. Like you said you can already use the wiki with updated prices, graphs and all that.

At time of posting 174k accounts online between the 2 games and only 7 on the forums so that should give you a idea why they won't update the website.

Slid to a more appropriate place.
When the day becomes the night and the sky becomes the sea, when the clock strikes heavy and there’s no time for tea; and in our darkest hour, before my final rhyme, she will come back home to Wonderland and turn back the hands of time.
