Game Mechanics

The galaxy wide vendor search is a system added with the publish 14.1 patch which allows player vendor contents to be displayed through the bazaar system. The system includes keyword searching and price filters that allow players to input the name or partial name of an item and / or designate a min or max price to sort results by. By default, player vendors are removed from the system. If a player wishes their vendor to be listed on the galaxy wide vendor search the player must open the Vendor Control radial menu and select the Enable Vendor Search radial option. To turn it off the player must select the Disable Vendor Search option. In order to view the galaxy wide vendor search results or to perform search queries, a player must first use a bazaar terminal. Galaxy Wide vendor searching cannot be performed from player vendors.

Note: Price filters by access fee was a post cu feature added to the vendor search listing.
