Right now:

My current saved search: min salary $20K, nationality Canada
On the t/l: 9 matching players, some of which I have sufficient bids to bid on
On MMT: A ~$50K salary Spanish center with a $2.7M bid

So, yes, I still have problems with the system.

Edit: Logged out and in just in case. It's now a $15K salary Turkish SG.

Those give me the following player (2805590), who is Canadian and has a 30k salary.

So, the problem isn't a bug, it's the intended (but perhaps incorrectly so) behavior. The search looks for players whose current bid is between 60% and 80% of your available funds (money - bids). So, it's not that there are no players in the desired range -- rather, unless you specify a bid price range it's going to look only within the 60-80%, and there didn't happen to be any players *there*.

I've run a check, and there happen to be 0 players with those criteria in your 60% - 80% range.

If you keep it that way, then I think it would be wise to present this information clearly somewhere to the end user. There's no way I would have expected it to only consider that range by default... from the outside, it appears badly broken.

I personally don't think you should keep it that way. Anything up to 100% sounds reasonable to me, with the nearest expiring auction being presented when there are multiple matches. Actually, maybe any match at all regardless of cost, perhaps with a toggle in the preferences for suppressing players you can't currently afford. But I'm not your Product Manager.

Thanks for the advice. I think I may have a potential solution, but I'll need to test it out first to make sure it scales.
