Live searches were introduced about 9 months ago. If you aren't familiar with them, check out this document.

Today, a new refresh mode is available. It uses websockets and solves a lot of issues that the old polling method had.

In addition, exclusive to the new refresh mode, a new feature is implemented which shows you when an item has been sold (or just changed - for example, if the price was changed).

To participate in the beta test, just change your "Refresh every" setting to "Like, real fast".

If you encounter any problems, please report them to the poe.trade forum thread. Thank you.
