Search function doesnt work properly

[CryptoKong]

Describe the bug The search function on my markets on the exchange page doesn't work properly. From a users perspective this is a pretty basic feature that everyone expects to work 100%. If a user comes to bitshares to trade a specific market, searches and it returns no results then we just lost a user. I don't know how much work is involved in fixing this but it needs doing. How can we market ourselves as a decent DEX if we cant even provide a working search function for them to find markets?

To Reproduce Go to exchange page, go to find markets, type in bridge.eth in quote currency and open.eth in asset name.

Expected behavior Should return the open.eth-bridge.eth market

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: ubuntu 16.04
• Version 190227

Quote currency isn't designed to use prepending names, like "OPEN.". I'd say it may be a design flaw, since you could wish to find markets with Quote of OPEN.ETH and Base of GDEX, where base is all GDEX markets.

Right now you can't do that. Base is wildcard, but Quote isn't.

We need to look on the resource impact of this and if we need to limit or optimise this feature better.

Ok cool thanks for clarifying. One of bitshares unique selling points is that any asset is tradeable vs any other asset so really a user would expect to easily search (and find) any desired pairing.
