Thanks for your work, This is the best AH addon I used. I find when I click an item in the Search Results list, it often search again, could it run search progress when I bid or buyout it other than when I click it? And I hope when I click an item in the Bids list, it could refresh at once.

It could, and I think a very early version of aux did that, but why would it be better? Why would you not want to know as soon as possible if the auction is still there? In the current implementation aux not only searches when you click but continually re-verifies the currently selected auction to make sure that it's still there, so that when the buy button is enabled you know for sure that you could instantly buy it.

As for the bids (and posted) lists, I remember that they had a very weird interface in vanilla, both different from the search and different from each other, and I would be hesitant to touch that now for fear of breaking something. (and in general I'm not likely to work on vanilla addons at this point, unless some serious bug is found. I even stopped playing classic, though I will try to keep supporting at least the classic-era version).
