Is there any rough estimate of when the search feature will be back online? Or is it going to be gone for a while like groups?

Dude just give Bungie some time. Man, you people think the online team are super-human...I'm sure it will be in the next update, probably some time around the re-launch of groups.

If you invite me to your group you will be blocked.

Yeah Recon, that's what I'm thinking also. I would be very surprised if the search feature did not come with more filters.

Old school Bungie, born and raised,
In the Septagon is where I spend most of my days.
Relaxin', maxin', posting all cool,
Talking about Halo, life and some school.
Got in one little argument, and the mods got scared,
they said "You're gonna get banned and your member title'll be bare!"

Good speculation and I agree, those would all be very useful

Too, what I hated about the old search system was that it would give you the oldest results first and the newest ones last. =/

*Disclaimer*

I am NOT suggesting anything. I don't have any inside information. I have not been given any clues or hints by the web-devs or anything like that. This is just a theory. *end disclaimer*

I find it interesting that the search feature is offline along with the groups. I wonder if there is a relation?

I know that members had been asking for an improved search tool, with additional features like;

* Perform a primary search, and then a secondary search based on a more refined criteria
example: search for all of a member's posts, and then when it shows thousands of posts, search those results for posts containing a keyword.
* Restrict a search to a specific forum or forums.
example: a member can search for all of Achronos' posts, and choose to search all forums, or a single, or ctrl-click on a list.
* Allow date range searches.
* Search within groups where you are a member.
* Allow group admins to flag certain threads to be search-able and viewable by non-members of the group.

They're all really good ideas and I hope that they are being considered. The fact that search and groups are offline at the same time makes me wonder, makes me hopeful, but it is just that. Hope.


Even though you had your little disclaimer, you still got me all hopeful. Man, now that the search feature is taking a vacation, I realized how much I used it.
