Would it be possible for nightbot or some other bot to search a log file similar to gina or ahungry?
example: I have been running a mule in EC that is also broadcasting and logging the auction spam. Someone comes into the channel and wants to look for torpor for sale. Could they come in and do !search torpor and have nightbot spit out all the recent log files mentioning torpor over a couple day period?
I feel this would be more reliable than other auction sites.

It's possible for you to "slurp" auction data by: 1) setting up a toon in EC, and then 2) making a program or script that reads your log files. Then 3) you can do anything your heart desires with that data (including setting up a way to search through it).
But for anyone else to use that data you need a user interface. It doesn't matter if that interface is a Discord chat bot, some Twitch script, or an "auction site" or whatever: the data won't be any more reliable one way or the other, its just a question of how convenient it is for people to access the data.
