So, it's totally awesome that you can search for a name in ranchers, right? But lots of people don't keep the nice names they sell in their rancher; they keep them in their showroom in a "for sale" category. But we all know that you can't search for a name in showrooms. So, what if there was an option to mark a category in your showroom "include in rancher name searches" or if everyone's showroom came with a selling category (that they could name, of course)?

Seems a little redundant to me. If they want the name to be available to the Rancher Name Search then they should really just put it in their Rancher. ^^; 
I know it might be beneficial to Merchants but overall it just seems to take away the Rancher Shop's purpose a little. 

No support :c

I'm behind Dust on this one. The reason there are ranchers and merchants is because one is focused on selling items and the other pets. Sure, both can sell both, but it is easier for ranchers to sell pets and merchants items. I'd be loathe to do something that would make selling pets so much easier for merchants. If a rancher wants to sell a pet and have it appear in an easy-to-find search, they can take the time to put it in their rancher shop and price it :) There's a reason you can't access your rancher shop as a merchant or your merchant shop as a rancher.

Ah, I hadn't thought about Merchants. :( That is true.
I'd still like a way for ranchers to make names findable without putting a specific price on them. I know you can just leave a pet unpriced and it will show up in rancher name searches, but just browsing a rancher, they're invisible.

But you can still find them, so there's no problem there. :o If the Rancher doesn't want it priced then they don't price it. 
If you're really curious about what the name is on, then you could just Rmail them uwu
