I came for Halo, but I heard the Tru7h, fought thru Carnage, and stayed for Bungie.

Why is it so unhelpful? Not even a 'most recent' option? It can't be that difficult to create a setting that shows matches with the most recent post dates first, can it?

I've never found anything I was looking for with it.

"You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don't try to forget the mistakes, but you don't dwell on it. You don't let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space." -Johnny Cash

I do believe that it already does give you the most recent posts first, but you're correct about that it not being that useful.

The forum search function is the only part of it that seems to give me issues. The other functions seem to work fine.

Indeed. Back when searching for friend's profiles, it works fine, but god forbid you want a specific forum post.

not true about recent posts. I just searched for "Mass Effect 3" and the top post was from April of last year.

I suppose the search engine doesn't have the best algorithm. I believe Achronos said something about improving the search engine in the future. They'll need some good programmers with data mining skills in order to make a robust search engine. I'm sure top men are on the job as we speak.
