It's terrible. I can enter exact phrases (yes, with the quotation marks) and get 0 results, but then I'll type one word and search through pages and pages of results only to find a post THAT STARTED WITH THE EXACT SAME PHRASE I ENTERED 10 MINUTES AGO.

Anyone else have these problems?

I've had that problem since I started visiting Bungie.net. I'm not sure whether or not that's the way it supposed to be.

Hey thats not nice. Making that search bar took someone a hard 20 minutes.

You imply a level of control over Halo: Reach matchmaking that we no longer have. Or, in your vernacular, it isn't our shiznit anymore.

I don't mean to hate on the site but seriously I've never found what I was looking for by using the Bungie search. I end up just using Google every time.

We shouldn't have to. They could easily fix the search feature they just haven't yet (they obviously have more important things to do). That doesn't alleviate the annoyance of not having a functioning search bar.

"There came a man who was sent from God; his name was John. He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all men might believe."
Gospel of John, 1:1-7

The best part of the search button is that it's the Marathon symbol. That's about all.

I doubt you'll survive then.

"Now, we must all fear evil men. But there is another kind of evil which we must fear most, and that is the indifference of good men."

Get at me

Yeah, it's really quite useless. (as far as searching the forums. It works fine with groups, vids, pics, and all that.)

Hello, I'm Mr AwesomePizza. I like pizza and I'm a man. Reasoning for the name. I like to listen to the classics of music, write poetry, play video games, and much much more. I'm always down for a nice chat, so please hit me up for some conversation.

It's useless. Just like the search feature for past posts.
It takes forever to get what you want.

I can figure it out fine by myself. I just shouldnt have to if they would fix their search feature.

Halo 2 for Life!

it adds character nothing can be perfect. Searching is hard to do on this site but maybe they wanted it that way.
