Summary0012698: Searching for bins and/or items in bins in trade window don't work.
DescriptionI'm trading with a trader that sells bins with leather and cloth in them and i only want leather.

There are like 100 bins, so I pressed "mark all" and then searched for "cloth" to unmark the cloth bins, but the search doesn't include names of bins or the contents of bins, so even if i search for "cloth" ,the leather bins are still present in the window even if none of them have the word "cloth" in them, or contain any cloth. In my opinion i think a search function should include them.

An option to being able to collapse the contents of bins, bags and barrels in the trade window would also be super useful (like you can do in the window when moving goods to the trade spot). And two buttons at the bottom in the window "collapse all containers" and "open all containers". It would make it way easier to trade with large quantities.

If this search thing is implemented to work in the window when you're moving stuff to the trade spot would also be very useful, even more useful than in the trade window, because there are even more bins and barrels there. I have about 300 bins of bar/block bin that i don't want to see cluttering up the screen and only want to see produced goods, but because it sorts everything with the material of the bin i need to scroll through everything meticously.

Suggestion:
And instead of sorting bins by the bins material, sort them by the content. (or an option to opt in or out of this in searches, opt in - and bin categorizes after their contents, opt out - and they categorizes after material, like it is now.) Because does anyone just sell the bins empty and care what they are made of?

I might make another post but in a suggestion forum instead, this is getting long.

But if you could actually start a search by typing "produc" then you get all bins with produced goods or any other bin that have "produc" in it's name it would be a very good start and save alot of time and frustration.
Steps To Reproduce1. Trade with someone that have bins with different things and try searching for a particular sort of bin, like Leather bin, cloth bin, yard bin etc...

Is there a way to vote on issues here? This would help a ton. Trading is so tedious.

No, there isn't. That's not really part of the intent of a bug tracker. And the content of this ticket belongs on the suggestion forum of bay12forums.com (where there actually is voting — a sticky thread there should have more info).
