Well, how will this "heal" the economy? It may help people to find those selling items at a more reasonable price, but it will still be money being given player to player, thus it won't "disappear" from the server.
Example:
If someone with 99 million meseta buys a ray photon from someone else's shop for 3 million, the buyer will now have 96 million and the seller 3 million (99 million total still in the economy).
If someone with 99 million meseta buys a ray photon from someone else's shop for 100 meseta, the buyer will now have 98,999,900 meseta, while the seller will have 100 mestea (99 million still in the economy).
What it will do is keep the rich rich and the poor poor. Those with money can search for the lowest price easily, thus keeping a lot more of their money, while the poor will no longer be able to sell photons for outrageous prices (relatively) and up their bankroll.
I assume this change will only create a bigger rift in the economy. It will do little to ebb it's absurdity.
What is needed is meseta sinks - purchasable items from the NPC which will fundamentally take a lot of the meseta out of the community. Perhaps they should temperarily inflate the cost of EVERYTHING in the NPC shops until a better balance is obtained?
I don't know how to fix it, but the shop search alone will do nothing.

But seriously, inflation or deflation - doesn't matter to me! There are more advantages in making a large profit in inflation, but for the player that plays it neutral, the prices correspond. More money = higher prices, less money = lower prices. The shop features will make things easier and more competitive, but honestly, I don't see much to fix about our current economy.
