In my case, I wanted to search for Saint Basil's Cathedral and see how many players have built it, and further decide from there whether I should build it or not (as I have gathered the full set of blueprints and all required goods and have planned where to build it, too). However, apparently this cannot be done because: first of all, the input box in
Global Ranking - Great Buildings cannot hold this many characters "Saint Basil's Cathedral" (which means there'd be no way for an "exact match" and only fuzzy match is possible); second of all, by searching "Saint", the results returned are players, instead of Great Buildings, with a name containing "Saint"; third of all, when clicking "next page" on the last page of the returns, ideally, a prompt should be given "no more results" or the "next page" button should have been greyed out in the first place, but instead, searcher is led to the overall default unfiltered global ranking home page, which means the searching has been discarded without warning, and if the searcher wants to return to the previous results, they must redo the same search all over again. In particular, the "discard results and go to default page" issue exists for all tabs not only Great Guilding tab.
