Horse search

Post by Nick Gilmore »

When you search for a list of an owner’s stable and you click alive, why do their reserved names come up as well? Reserved names are listed as -1 and technically not alive, is this a glitch or an oversight? Can it be fixed?

Thanks much either way.

Reserved names are technically neither alive nor deceased. Are they retired or not retired? They don't actually have an age. We don't list them with age -1 (although they may be stored that way internally). They really shouldn't show up in any search since we are searching for "horses" and reserved names aren't horses... yet. But people liked being able to find reserved names because it explained why they couldn't use that name for their horse. It could be a completely different filter like, alive, deceased, reserved. But then all the other filters don't make sense (pensioned etc). I think the most correct approach would be to never list the reserved names in any search combination, but I doubt that will fly.

So, it is likely that we will keep it as-is. Sorry.

That’s okay, I appreciate an answer. Thank you.

I should add, it’s only annoying when you’re searching for a horse and somebody has 495 reserved names, lol...I’m looking at you Rochelle! :D

Well, is she specialized or is she all in on everything? :D

Enquiring minds want to know (and are afraid of all those reserved names).
