Auctionator fails to search for "group search"

I discovered an issue with Auctionator where it will not search for all appearances of an item all though the code is in the addon to allow for that to happen, or at least, so it tries to do.

This is my initial attempt at searching for the whole group, as you can see no results are found.

So I further tested:
wowscrnshot_021219_190803
wowscrnshot_021219_190810
These two manual searches of the items that were searched via the group search were successful and displayed results.

So I dug deeper, I saved the group search as a shopping list, and click manage>edit to discover what it was actually shopping for: I found this
"Coldsnout Shoulders"
"Voidcaller Shoulders"

This made me start thinking, it's searching for the "exact match" which is initiated by putting quotations around the word, so I removed the quotations from the shopping list

searched again, and while not perfect, displaying 2 failing, and ultimately unnecessary searches, it still solved the problem mostly,

I hope I gathered enough information for you guys to hopefully fix this, I love this addon, it has so much use built into it that people likely want, but don't know they can get through your addon because it is only advertised as a transmog addon.

Thanks

I woke up this morning and one of my searches functioned correctly because the items in the search did not have any variances to them like "of the fireflash."

The Auctionator search module now specifies that it is searching for armor to not explicitly include the double quotes. You can test this on our master branch now.

this is quite close, the first item in the list searches correctly, the rest still have the quotes around them.

Thank you so much for the fast response and working on this for me :D

Without modifying Auctionator, I don't think there's anyway around this. You can forward this request to the Auctionator team to try to get our integration to behave as it should as the issue lies within their external API.
