How about adding a search for Free Agents only? Rather have that than a random "oh! found a free agent!" during a search...
Some players may prefer that their money goes out of the game rather than to another player. I wish I'd thought of that - a free-agent only filter - great idea!
BTW, your point about a $1 search is completely irrelevant Koz, in fact it's arguably misguiding and unhelpful - as free agents attract a lot of step bids over their period on sale as they move towards their true market price.
