It is very tedious to find the item I am looking for, because I have to go year by year with CTRL + F. At least make it so it goes to the correct year when you click the link from shop search. Would make things a lot easier.

Also, it would be nice to add a search feature to the forums.

Search for the forums does exist. It is only on kumos though. It can be found https://kumos.subeta.net/forums/search">here

Yes, I agree. I wish there were search features, in the specialty shops. Because as of now its difficult to find a specific item.

100% support the special shop search, or at least the link taking you to the year, or even the text on the shop search saying for example “Libertine Lounge (2017)”

Would make life so much easier while questing or gifting.

There is a thread with some super helpful CSS that tells what year each item is in. CustomCSS: Year Indicator for yearly event shops

I'm very grateful to for keeping it updated, but it would be a nice QoL upgrade if this became a built-in function. Maybe even let us purchase (in the shop's proper currency of course) directly from the shop search? Most of the shops already cover 10+ years, and it's getting pretty difficult to find things even with the yearly indicator.

I’d be happy if the special shops could be organized by item type. Or have filters to do so. It would make buying the books a lot easier for when I’m trying to pick them out to read to my pets
