If Achronos and the Online Team want to give us a chance to turn groups around, they should give us something that helps us find groups better.
I wasnt aware the groups were in need of "turning around". The only thing affecting a group are its members. If members of a group choose to not participate, then it wasnt much of a group to begin with. The most active groups here are active because of thier members, not because they have a group name that can be easily accessed via search function.
Or the fact that it was easy to get your name out there back when signatures were something everyone could see easily or even knew how to see (a lot of people don't). With the new iteration of the website it's extremely difficult to get new members into your group unless you're constantly spamming the classifieds.
It's very difficult to get a group off the ground and rolling like you'd hope. With the current lack of exposure it's going to be terribly difficult to get new groups rolling, and this search feature is part of the reason. They should at least implement meta tags that you can assign for your group so if people search based on what the group is about, not what the first word of the group is. Like, if you wanted to find a group that plays Halo: CE customs on XBC, then you should be able to enter XBC or Halo1 or something like that to find them. For all we know, their name could be "The group that plays Halo CE customs on XBC", but you need to search under "the" to find them.
They may as well just get rid of it in it's current form, because right now it's next to useless.
