A search is being worked on, but it may be some time before it is ready to be used. And A search won't help people posting the same topic over and over. If someone doesn't even look at the front page to see if there topic has not yet been created, then they aren't going to do a search for it.

Here is the latest comment by Achronos about the search

A crappy search is worse than no search at all.

We are working on figuring out a solution to adding search to this site. But we're not going to expend effort putting in a half-assed solution.

Heh, once you've been here as long as some of us, you'll realise that with the current crop of b.net members, a search function wouldn't make a bat of difference to repetative threads.

I have actually been here awhile. This is not my first account.

Thank you for the quote.

The forums are terrible. There, I said it. Threads are created about the same topic over and over and over again. There will be five or six topis on Elites vs Spartans on the front page alone!

Instead of just locking these threads, which you do somewhat half of the time, why do you not just incorporate a Search Button into the forums? Would you have to switch over to a new template, or why did you not do this in the first place? A Search Button would make the forums a better place and create some amount of dicipline.

-Edit-
If there has already been a thread about this and the question answered, I am sorry. There would be know way for me to know.

Well, if you actually tried at all, you would have noticed, that there is already a thread about it.... on the first god damn page. Heck, it's even got a nice yellow gold septagon sitting next to it.

We don't need a search feature. What we do need, is a bit of common sense.

We’ve watched while the stars burned
Out, and creation played in reverse.
The Universe freezing in half-light.
Once I thought to escape.
To end a master, step out of the
Path of collapse. Escape would make us God.
Yet I cannot help but remember one enigma,
A hybrid, elusive destroyer.
This is the one mystery I have not solved.
The only element unaccounted for.

How long exactly has the search feature been Coming Soon (tm)? It's practically a legend now...
