As the title above states, I would like to advocate for keeping the command 'dexsearch' (or '/ds') the same as it was on PS prior to this change that removed the ability to use the 'all' search parameter. If it ain't broke, why fix it?
Specifying, ", all" after including multiple search parameters no longer works, and now the box with search results under the dexsearch command shows instead a clickable message, "Click to show all results."
This clickable drop-down (shown in red below) now also does not work when you click, so it's hard to build teams using this command at the moment:
I've been using the dexsearch command to assist in easy teambuilding for over a decade now - there was really nothing wrong with it in its form prior to this update, and this small cosmetic change to remove 'all' did more damage than good.
It is also actually faster to just type ", all" than it is to stop typing then move your mouse to click the 'show all results' button afterward. If you're using this command multiple times in a row when building a team as I often do, just keeping your hands on the keyboard is far easier than it is to type a longer command, click, type a longer command, click, etc.
If it's slower to use and clunkier to input this updated form of dexsearch, is it not just easier to keep the /ds command as it was?
It seems this was changed recently:
This is what I'm referring to when I say, please keep it as it was. You can see below a screenshot of the /ds command with the 'all' parameter included functioning normally a few days ago (me looking for screen users and dual screens users in gsc ubers):
Please consider undoing this change totally, or at a minimum, fixing the 'show all results' drop-down; dexsearch was fine before it was tinkered with.
