Forage addition

Please add the function to search for multiple keywords when foraging.

ex. forage rocks for white.blue = forages for rocks that have both white and blue in their name
      forage rocks for white blue = forages for rocks that have either white or blue in the name
      forage rocks for white.blue red = forages for rocks that have both white-and-blue or red in the name

I love it, but how it works currently is that it will search for rocks with ONLY white and blue in their names.

They would probably have to rewrite how foraging works or put another command like Forage rocks for white OR blue.

I like where your mind is, nothing worse than a hundred rocks in the room from people just doing forage drop forage drop forage drop.

How is that bad?

Some people need different rocks. Finding a bunch of good stuff lying around for free that someone else foraged for you is fantastic. Saves so much time.

The only downside I suppose is it using server resources...but I suspect that with advances in computing power, item management isn't such a big deal as it was in the 1990s.

I guess for standard rocks that's okay, I just wish they limited the deposits being uncovered, I've been in rooms with 12 rock faces of basalt and that's ridiculous.

The deposits disappear on their own after a while.

I think, keep "forage for keyword", but change it's current implementation.

Previously, the staff may have indicated that querying the object pool or database using a keyword is not possible. This could be due to technical limitations.

Instead of querying for a single random item, I recommend retrieving a selection of 5 or 10 random items (This should be relatively easier). Then, if the forage parameter matches any of the retrieved items, return it as a result.

forage stones for ruby diamond chunk

keeping only items that contain at least one of the keywords provided in the argument

Could the foraging mutate to that, to allow "up to <x> parameters"?

This would be great.

I would love if forage did the or type model instead of the MUST MATCH EVERY WORD model
