Text-Only Outpost?
I am looking for Professional Fabricators, and it's a pain to sift through all ~25 pages of fabricators and hover over every image of a Professional Fabricator to see if it's even for the weapon I want (let alone the effect/sheen). Until some sort of Killstreak search is implemented (which I think I've suggested before, and imagine others have too), I'd like to find a way to search through these pages much quicker. I am not quite sure if this is possible, but could I modify some settings or input some commands on my internet browser to view Outpost pages as pure text? This way, I could simply ctrl+f each page for "widowmaker" (or whatever I'm searching for), which would make my search much quicker.

If it matters, I use Chrome, but I'd be fine downloading another browser just for this "feature".

When performing a search there's an input box in the lower right corner. You can enter whatever text you like, this will filter your results and offer a more refined search.

The notes box? But wouldn't this filter out any trades with a Widowmaker Fabricator, for example, which did not have "widowmaker" in the notes? Often times I see just "add me" or "send a trade offer" in the notes, and I want to be sure I don't filter these kinds of trades out.

Yes, you will lose all the trades that dont contain this text. Outpost is just not the place to trade for killstreaks and strangifiers, use the community market for this, saves you a lot of time, also much less highballing there :-P.

I figured so. I check both the Community Market and Outpost. I've found some trades on the Market that weren't on Outpost, and some on Outpost that weren't on the Market. I guess I'll just have to check every page in order not to miss anything. Until Killstreak Search is added.

Unless someone finds a way to read the site in text-only.
