I'm well aware adding more criteria to the search will slow the process (and probably the entire site if not done well) due to the additional sorting, but I suggest, in the meantime, adding icons to each dragons little tab on the results page.
That, as far as I'm aware, should be less intensive than making it sort more, while still supplying the searcher with relevant information.
For example:

Technically either the gender icon or text field could be removed, since with my little mockup it's redundant.
But by adding the icons displayed on it's page and lair tab, you could now easily tell which dragons returned by the search are for sale and their flight without having to click every single one. Some people also like to look for studs and sales that are ready to breed, so this would help them as well.
I also feel this will aid people in selling dragons, at least a bit, since a lot of people use the search to find colors they want.
Edit:
And exalted dragons would not display icons.

So much support. I would love a way to see if dragons that turn up in search are for sale, at the very least. I like the flight thing as well, because you often can't tell from the small picture.

Support!
I'd love to see this. It's frustrating clicking on several dragons and seeing that they're not for sale, or the wrong Flight. Implementing this would mean that people would not click on the dragons that they're not interested in, and have less pings to the server due to less pages being opened.

Especially the flight and sale icons seem pretty important to me, it would make things so much easier :)

Icons would work too but I was thinking of simply additional search options. I definitely want to see checkboxes like Exalted, On Auction or Ready to Breed. That way what you see is already what you really want rather than having to seep through the search results. :)

Man, I was trying to find a couple mates for breeding projects today and remembered just how much I want this to be a thing.
