Well, when I'm bored I usually poke around in things and see what I can find. Today I was bored and with the über-h4x skillz of ctrl+a I found something that might be of interest.

Upon pressing ctrl+a I found this box underneath the forum selection box and I was wondering why it was there. Of course, I don't know whether or not it was there before the announcement of the Search feature, but I would hazard a guess to say that's what it's for.

I believe it was May last year that GameJunkieJim saw the implementation of a quick search. So, even though we have this as the main search page, I think the box will see the implementation of a "quick search".

Interesting? Maybe. Pointless? Maybe. Worth telling The Septagon? Why not. ;)

That box shows the 'Text Markup Tags" that you see when making a thread or replying to one.

Even under the mark-up tags there's another box. :\

Yeah, that box has been there for as long as possible. Click and drag now, without pressing ctrl+a and you'll still get it.

Unless I am horribly mistaken, it has ALWAYS done that. That space has always been there.

Ok, well I'll take your word on that as it's never occured to me to ctrl+a on Bungie.

Yeah, I sometimes hit Alt instead of Shift, Ctrl etc. by accident. I can't prove it, and I can't be completely sure, but that screenshot just looks like how it's always looked when I accidentally hit the wrong keys or something.

We'll see whether I'm an idiot or not soon enough. Well... scratch that, I already know I'm an idiot (thanks Jeff), but we'll see whether I'm an idiot in regards to this.

Back in the days of yester year there was a breif period of several hours when a search function did indeed pop up in the noted space, it was promptly taken down and put back to being worked on. Though, one can assume that that is where the fabled search function will one day be.
