I would like to see the search in the in-game grand exchange improved to bring up closer matches first. As example, currently if you search for "pot", you get agility potions and antifire potions first, and have to scroll down quite a way to find the actual item called "pot".
Similarly if you search for "chinchompa", you get the black chinchompa first instead of the normal one, only in this case it's not an issue since there's only three items matching.
If you search for "rune", you get a long list containing a mix of magic runes and rune metal equipment, starting with the air rune and ending with the wrath rune.
That probably means it just searches if the term exists in the item name at all, and then sorts alphabetically. Essentially your search is screwed if the item you're looking for has a short name that is a substring of names of many other items.
The grand exchange on the website has a better search as "pot" brings up the actual pot, variations like pot of flour, and plant pots first, though strangely it also brings up "ale yeast" and "dynamite" even though "pot" is not a substring of those two item names.
Perhaps it would also be useful to be able to exclude things in your search, for example search "key" but ignoring it if it matched because it's a substring of "monkey".
