I think the search engines could use a couple of updates. First it would be nice to filter out unconscious pets. I have found it really frustrating and time consuming to go through a list of possible males/females (specifically an issue with themed pets) thinking you have plenty to choose from only to go through the process on each and everyone to discover that nearly all of them are unconscious. Filtering this out would save time and make the game more enjoyable in my opinnion.

I have also noticed that when I am looking for themed pets the pet search engine only seems to recognize first generation themes as themed. If I want to buy or breed anything else themed (ie 2nd or third generation), I have to go through every pet of a species looking for what I want because it isn't all being filtered. Maybe I am crazy and I am the only person who gets frustrated with this, but I am pretty sure I am not alone in this. I really love this game and I know you have a lot that you are working on, but I thought this was a suggestion you might be interested in hearing about.

There is an option to look for "2nd or third generation" themes, though it was just added somewhat recently. If you mark the Themed option as "Yes" (or to a specific species and a specific theme), you can then move "Include Purebred" to "Yes" or "Only". Yes will search for proper themes /and/ PB offspring, while Only will only include the purebreds.

Edit: I don't think I'd personally use an unconscious filter that often, though I imagine it might be more useful for people who often look for public breeding.

If you feed a pet, it becomes conscious again. It costs like 200g but it's probably worth it

Thanks for the advice guys. Now that I know I can feed them it doesn't seem so frustrating LOL
