With patch 1.15.5, blizzard has added a version of the LFGList UI for classic wow game modes (currently only on SoD/Anniversary Realms).

This addon used to have minor support for the LFG tool back in burning crusade before Vysci forked it for wrath, but it has since been abandoned since blizzard swapped API's/Frames for the LFG Tool sometime in early Wotlk Classic.

It would be nice to re-implement the integration of the LFGList tool, there are however some limitations to the new API that make it really cumbersome to work with.

Most notably, the GetSearchResultInfo APIs result struct contains "protected strings" which are encrypted strings that only the game client can decrypt. Critically, these types of strings are used for the name and comment fields:

• name - the posting title required when creating a group on the LFG tool (not used in the Era version of the tool)
• comment - the optional message/comment you can use when creating a group in the LFG tool

Additionally, we can only query the API for one category at a time (categories being Dungeons, Raids, Quests, Custom, PvP).

These 2 limitations mean that we can only ever display (on the bulletin board) the LFGList tool results for a SINGLE category at a time.

So then, i think its a little overkill to have a whole tab to display the results from the LFG Tool.
Id like a way to be able to implement the Tool into the main "Request List" tab.

• Can use a tooltip on the refresh button to show the current category being searched
