The Search Bar

Search for creatures with "_I_" in their names. You get 3154 pages of creatures that definitely do not have that - and the alphabetization isn't working at all. For example, the first four listed creatures are, in order, Pixani, Kinumpz, SilentSneak, and Nymia. What the heck?

Also, there are apparently three creatures named Pixani.

EDIT: I think, like @spiritkoi said, underscores count as wild cards for some reason, which accounts for the non-underscore-including names. And I'm pretty sure that the alphabetization issue is because of people putting spaces before the names. This would also be how there are multiple Pixanis. (I remember multiple creatures with the same name was an issue at some point, but I thought it was fixed?)

@purrclan I think the search thinks that the two underscores represent any kind of letter so I is in the middle of the name. I don't get the alphabetization though.

@spiritkoi
But underscores can be characters in names...

Pixani is the name of my pixgog 😋 o.o





THREE OF THEM O:

@purrclan Ya, but the underscores are the last when listing right? So then letters could represent those show up first and then actual underscores show last.

@despair
Yes. Three. O.O Look it up if you find it hard to believe. There are seriously three of them because I THINK SPACES BUT I'M NOT SURE.

@spiritkoi
Yeah, that makes sense.

@purrclan Oh 😋


I can explain why there are so many creatures named Pixani 😋

@despair
Why?

@purrclan

That was a use of the space glitch that used to be on eggcave 😋

@despair
Yeah, that's what I thought. 😋
I thought you meant that the name had some significance that made people want to use the space glitch for it. 😋
