I find that as a result of the poor search feature on this website...duplicate topics run amok...I mean this is probably a duplicate topic but it is just so hard to use the search find out if the topic you are starting is unique or an exact duplicate. I honestly don't even blame people for starting duplicate topics because there is no way to sort topics from posts..as far as I know anyways you always generate hundreds or none and can't refine your search

Strange evolution how people have come to believe
That we are it's greatest achievement
We're barely, we're just a collection of cells
Overrating themselves

There are so many duplicate topics because people are generally too lazy to look for similar topics and just create a new thread. Out of 100 duplicate topics, 93% were created because the use was too lazy to use the search feature and/or look through a couple pages.

The search feature needs to be fine tuned when the system admins have more time. Right now, Halo 3 is keeping Bungie's staff busy.

because if seeing is believing,
then believe that we have lost our eyes

It might be hard to find what you are looking for sometimes, but I have always been able to find what I'm looking for.

It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. And it is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves the flag, whose coffin is draped in the flag that allows the protester to burn the flag.Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC

People dont use it that much to answer thier own questions. Instead they just make a repeat thread.

Examples can be found in Both the H3 forums.

I liked it when at least the news search worked. Now it thinks the word 'movie' hasn't been uttered once in a 6 years of news history.

Perhaps the reason for this is the fact that the search feature is not all that useful....for instance...you can't search unique topic names..which would make it easier to find topics thus eliminating so many duplicate topics. I also find the format the result are shown in is not that easy on the eyes especially when there are hundreds of results brought back

The search feature is poor in my opinion. I never seem to be able to find what I'm looking for.

If I was a it more paranoid, I'd thank that had less to do with the search feature and more to do with... other things...
Also, the searches is insufficient.

I agree. I think you should be able to search a certain forum, and a certain topic title.

I remember when I used this space to put cool looking links to my chapters back in the day. I don't even know why I'm using it now. Why are you even reading this? You must be interested in me. Still reading?

The search feature does render many duplicate results and poorly organizes it to find things eaiser but I always find what I am looking for quite easily. I usually only use it for finding other B.net users.
