If there's a particular issue you consider important argument 'how much better' it would make the game, and maybe you will see it imped, or maybe not. The designers might disagree, or not have the time for it, or it might be impossible to implement code-wise.

I hope you saw in my post that I was not asking the devs that they ought to include every single bit of feature everybody asked (which would be a rather impossible and anyway undersirable task) .

That they include or not a search function is not fundamental, I was heading to the principle : is it possible that they, sometime, code a feature because we the fans perceive it as important, or is it a definitive no? I dont remember that they ever changed their mind on a feature they didnt liked initialy. Feel free to refresh my mind if I miss something.

remember the thread about army destruction spells? Reread it, you will see that :
1 - nearly all (or is it all) fans expressed their view that they were somehow too potents/convenients.
2- no devs made a remark. Why? because they disagreed and they felt it was like this and not in any other way.

btw data dumping is fine for me. I remember with fondness these 3rd party Stars! utils which were doing that. Very practical.

M. Stravos : You position is far more rigid than the one I have. I, personally, can understand that they have the right to not accept 90% of the requests we have (requests asked by more than one person whats more, not speaking of every single concept everybody has 20 times a day!). What I would not like is a percentage of 100% denial.
