Subject: Search feature back on line

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!"

If you haven't checked your upper-right field yet, you may not have noticed the search feature has returned...

I took it for a test drive a few minutes ago, and was actually rather disappointed. It appears to be the same feature with a facelift!

Am I missing something? Were changes mostly aesthetic? Perhaps maybe slightly more relevent search results? If any one finds anything new, or would like to comment on the new search feature, leave a post!

News? Podcasts? Machinima? Active forums? Competitions? Jaffa Cakes!? OMG!

Best. Mod. Ever.

It does seem the same apart from the visuals. Perhaps the webteam have put some extra coding in there to help but it's not obvious. Hopefully it will be updated in the future.

You missed the point like Vader missed the banshee, your whole argument is covered in bees.
Stop sending me group invites -blam!-s!

I think the "more posts by this user" option is really helpful.

I didn't say it didn't work, I said it still sucks. I don't think the results it gives meet the expectations of search filters on other sites. However, many sites, especialy sites like this one, don't even have search filters. For that, I will not complain.

Anyone but Foman. He smells like cheese.

It is not upgraded as hoped. If you just go to the search page without typing in a search, however, it does give some help on the boolean operators that may be used. Here they are in case you do not feel like clicking to a new page:

Can't find something? The following advanced search techniques should help you return meaningful results.


word1 AND word2
search for 'word1' and 'word2'.

word1 OR word2
search for 'word1' OR 'word2'.

"a whole phrase"
search for an exact phrase.

(word1 OR word2) AND word3
logically group words and/or phrases.

word1 AND NOT word2
search for 'word1' and exclude 'word2'.

word*
wildcard search for any word starting with 'word'.
