Searching options for news and bug box

Search through news articles
the news articles being shortened to just a preview on the news page was a really good change, but now it's incredibly time consuming to search for a specific article if i can't remember the title/date posted. back when the full articles were displayed i could just page search the terms i was looking for. it still would take some time to find things but it was much faster than now. these days i have to click on each article, page search, go back, repeat. news articles are a really important source for item info, it's a little exhausting sifting through them when i'm just trying to find something and can't remember when it was introduced or where it comes from.
so it would be nice to be able to search through the news, if not specific terms within the articles then i think at least some filtering options like month and year posted would be great.

"Search body" option for bug reports
i always try to look through previously submitted bug reports before making my own, but it's pretty common for a duplicate to be made even when i think i'm being thorough. sometimes titles are misleading and sometimes people just don't bother giving proper titles at all. i'm not sure if this is possible, but if we could have an option to search through all the text in the reports instead of just the titles i think it would help with checking reports before submitting your own.

I agree. I dread having to look through the news. The forums as well, trying to find older posts again is so hard sometimes.

Please please please. There were times I was talking with Maki, off site, about Seasonal Dyes amongst other things and trying to remember when dyes were mentioned or some other thing was frustrating with the go to a news post, skim, find nothing, go back and repeat the process till I find what I'm looking for.

Yes! Definitely could benefit from search options for all 3. 

 

And as far as items, I think adding an item description would be helpful. Like one you can hover over or when you click on an item in storage. Something I'd like to see one day. Would be helpful to reference how much something cost when it was in the store, when it was released or if it's seasonal, if it is known to offer a boost.
