GL with the project | There is already an addon which shows the comments on quests:
hxxp://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info7017-LightHeaded.html
But its still nice to have an addon to search for items, if there is a feature to link them to chat and to dressing room.

When I saw the title I immediately thought of LootLink/ItemSync, and how the more items you had in your database the more lag you got, eventually resulting in your game being a two fps slideshow. Can't wait for the release. |

Reputation: 252 | | It connects remotely with a server that handles the requests. My only concern is that I would need to find a place to host my PHP-engine on that wouldn't overload or run out of bandwidth  - At the moment it does store cache but only on hits, not the search query results.
About the armory question, yes that's a good idea. It's doable, just got to program the server to handle such requests and I can add a in-game slash command to query and get the response, hehe.
Here is a new teaser picture, updated the listing to display a bit more information about the results:
Rest of the functions you got to wait for, it can do more than search and list the results -be aware of that. :P

Reputation: 252 | | | Small updates about the progress:
Added armory look-up support (EU and US), also trough /whois command.
Added cache system for most functions that downloads, saving some CPU there. :P
Finished item viewing, basically shows you what Wowhead shows you (the most important of course).
Started on NPC viewing, planing to add coordination into the pages too (for NPCs), and hopefully a way you can click on them and be able to copy them (no success yet tough, there are many limitations). ^^ |

Reputation: 12 | | | Would it be possible to include the item id's found in the url of the item? Then private servers will love you too! If you want to be absolutely uber, have maybe a separate build that searches spells as well? I hate alt-tabbing to WoWHead just to look up a spell...
Anywho, great work on this addon! I'll definitely be using this. |  | |
