Though not unexpected given the changes we made.\n\nA lot of the changes we've made in this update we've expressly chosen to use hardware acceleration to smooth out the experience on mobile phones and other lower end devices. The amount of power a computer or phone has is totally irrelevant if you're telling the browser it's not allowed to use it by disabling hardware acceleration. Doing so prevents the browser from hitting your GPU (integrated or dedicated) at all.\n\nI feel for you since that search opening being calculated only on the CPU is chug city. Setting the search to locked mode helps since that operation isn't a translation, but it's still not quite ideal is it....\n\nI'll give it some thought to see if we can't come up with a solution, but it's not so simple as just removing the hardware accelerated tasks since they really smooth out the experience on phones and other more lower powered devices.\n\n\n(20 minutes after writing all that out)\n\n\nAlrighty, I wrote out that whole message before sending it cause I feel "},{"attributes":{"italic":true},"insert":"really"},{"insert":" bad about archidekt working less good than it did before for you.

Jeremy 24 months{"ops":[{"insert":"The TSR version of Kiki missing from search is definitely a bug. It's especially odd since that version "},{"attributes":{"italic":true},"insert":"is"},{"insert":" listed if you click on the Printings button. Regardless, we'll figure out what's going on there and get it sorted out. Good catch!\n\nAs for Quick Add, just selecting the cheapest version of a card has some issues. First and foremost, we don't actually store prices in our card database-- rather, they're fetched upon loading the card. So while it appears to be fairly simultaneously in search, checking price first before actually showing you a card version would slow down the process considerably.\n\nWe've discussed the possibility of storing price data with regular (daily?) checks with vendors to ensure everything is fairly current, but then we're introducing all of the challenges associated with gathering accurate prices. For instance, CK uses a different card ID system than Scryfall (and in turn, us), so matching card versions to their CK prices isn't always correct. For this reason, we'd probably have to use TCGPlayer prices for this hypothetical \"cheapest version\" search, but then users who primary to CK (or another vendor for that matter) wouldn't love on the fairly common occasion that the cheapest card version is different across the two sites. \n\nThat's not to say that we won't do this at some point (in fact, I have a thread going for it over in "},{"attributes":{"link":"https://archidekt.com/forum/thread/2368454/1"},"insert":"Feature Voting"},{"insert":" right now), it's just not quite the easy fix that it seems like it should be. Especially for something like Quick Add where the user has no control over card version (by design, notably), just putting parameters in place to ensure the version is something \"basic\" we feel is the best course of action.\n\nThat all said, we do agree that the timeshifted version of cards probably shouldn't be considered basic, so we'll get our parameters updated later today. Once that's done, Kiki will likely default to the List version since I believe that's the next most recent basic printing. Thank you for the feedback!\n"}]}

What button (or buttons specifically)? Or do you mean the \"Load More Results\" button? Like you click it, it disappears and no new cards appear? If that's the case, I'm guessing it's the same issue.
