Temporary 2 month absence
I will be travelling with my family for the next two months. This means that I won't be playing WoW nor will I be maintaining my addons during that time. This does not mean that they are abandoned, I'll be back in August and very much plan to keep them alive. Be patient and enjoy WoW.
This is a fan's update for Dsanais AuctionFiltePlus (link to wowinterface, the curse/curseforge projects have been removed a couple of months ago.
I have sent her a PM on curse to see if she is still going to update the addon but as I have not received a reply yet and could not live without AuctionFilterPlus I decided to have a quick look at it.
It seems the problem was some changed AH frame element names that came with patch 3.0.2 so all it needed was very few changes.
This is purely a fan's update until Dsanai gets around to update the addon, then I will remove this project again as I do not want to create a separate branch.
Update 2009-02-01:
As the original project for AuctionFilterPlus by Dsanai seems to have been removed from curse, I have copied across the original description from Dsanai's page on WoWInterface:

This mod adds a flyout panel of filters and display modifications, plus a reset button, to the Auction House.
Thank you to the authors of AuctionFilterRL (Joshaze), AH_Reset (AnduinLothar), AuctionSort (Abraha), and AH_Wipe (Neriak), as these mods formed the base for this extension.
I've added a few more filters that I always wished I'd had when shopping (such as only-20-piece stacks, and exact search), changed it to a low-clutter Flyout display, added the ability to save one's filter settings, merged the two mods into one, and added tooltips so users have more information about what each filter does.
FEATURES
- Adds a Filter button and a Reset button to the AuctionHouse frame.
- Pressing the Filter button will cause a Flyout menu to appear.
- The filter checkboxes on the flyout allow you to limit your AH results or change the display of certain information.
- In "Show Best Deals" display, bolts of cloth and greater essences are valued as their appropriate number of component elements.
- You can clear your filter settings with a single click.
- You can clear your Auction House search boxes with a single click.
- You can save your filter settings as your default setup, which will persist across sessions, characters, and servers.
- You can clear your settings temporarily and then reload them without relogging.
- Each of the filter checkboxes has an explanatory tooltip.
- Ready for localization (please help do so, if you are German- or French-speaking). You will be credited!
- Compatible with Auctioneer and KC_Items.

Installation Guide
- Exit "World of Warcraft" completely
- Download the mod you want to install
- Make a folder on your desktop called "My Mods"
- Save the .zip/.rar files to this folder.
- If, when you try to download the file, it automatically "opens" it... you need to RIGHT click on the link and "save as..." or "Save Target As".
- Extract the file - commonly known as 'unzipping'
Do this ONE FILE AT A TIME!
- Windows
- Windows XP has a built in ZIP extractor. Double click on the file to open it, inside should be the file or folders needed. Copy these outside to the "My Mods" folder.
- WinRAR: Right click the file, select "Extract Here"
- WinZip: You MUST make sure the option to "Use Folder Names" is CHECKED or it will just extract the files and not make the proper folders how the Authors designed
- Mac Users
- StuffitExpander: Double click the archive to extract it to a folder in the current directory.
- Verify your WoW Installation Path
That is where you are running WoW from and THAT is where you need to install your mods.
- Move to the Addon folder
- Open your World of Warcraft folder. (default is C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\)
- Go into the "Interface" folder.
- Go into the "AddOns" folder.
- In a new window, open the "My Mods" folder.
- The "My Mods" folder should have the "Addonname" folder in it.
- Move the "Addonname" folder into the "AddOns" folder
- Start World of Warcraft
- Make sure AddOns are installed
- Log in
- At the Character Select screen, look in lower left corner for the "addons" button.
- If button is there: make sure all the mods you installed are listed and make sure "load out of date addons" is checked.
- If the button is NOT there: means you did not install the addons properly. Look at the above screenshots. Try repeating the steps or getting someone who knows more about computers than you do to help.
Translations
When you download a mod, please be sure that the mod is compatible with your translation of wow. Some mods only work on the US versions, while some only work on some of the various European versions. These variations are called "Localizations".
TOC Numbers (Out of Date Mods)
When Blizzard patches WoW, they change the Interface number. This means that all mods will be "out of date" unless or until the author releases a new version for that interface. Some people go into the .toc files and update the numbers themselves, but this is STRONGLY advised against as it will cause problems locating possible incompatibilities addons. When you log into WoW after a patch, you DO NOT have to delete your interface directory. All you have to do is simply tell WoW to ignore the interface numbers and load all the mods anyway. All you have to do is, while at the "character select" screen, look in the lower left corner and click on the "addons" button. A window will pop up listing all your installed mods.
If you look in the upper left corner of that window there should be a box that says "Load Out of Date AddOns". You want to CHECK this box. Now simply go into WoW normally and all your mods should load. As of the 1.9 patch, you will have to do this after EVERY patch/update that Blizzard posts! If you encounter any problems with a mod after a patch, please be sure to let the author of the mod know so they can fix it.

Mac Support
WoW addons are not platformed based. As such, they can be used on either Mac or PC. You can extract both .zip and .rar files on a Mac using StuffitExpander.
