Vendor search: "Medium stone table" = valid. "Medium stone table south" = too vague?

Uh what? Is this thing just searching for each term individually or something? The number of things containing the terms "medium stone table south" must by necessity be smaller than the number containing "medium stone table" in general so what gives?

So UO doesnt know what the term vague means. When you get this message all you have to do is make your search more vague and it will work.

I think, and this is just conjecture, that the search algorithm sometimes searches for each term in the query separately and not as part of a whole. So by adding "south" you're actually adding all deeds labeled "south" to the search results, resulting in a too vague query. Might help in future searches.
