Wow. Mods posting things like "lol that was cool." It's hard to think that they once were normal members, too.

I just got a few questions.

1. If I were to enter a group would the Search feature search that forum instead of the Public ones?

2. How far back does the search feature seach?

and finally

Not to kill the happiness, but I don't know if this feature will last very long... There already instances in the Flood where people are bumping a thread that was last posted on almost a month ago. Either we need to restrict bumping amounts or cut the auto-delete function in half and have it deleted after a month. I'm sorry, but I don't have much faith in this feature's survival on this forum.

Yes.. I searched my name. I now I've found where everyone has been talking behind my back...

Actually, I've found I got some good feedback, which is pretty cool. It's quite an epic search tool.

You're all clear kid.

1. Currently, no the search box will only return results from the public forums.

2. All the way ;). Provided the page/post still exists on the site.

3. The rank is determined through a very complex strategy of hand waving and eye rolling. Basically, the higher the rank the closer we think that page matches the query. Right now everything except author searches are sorted by rank, for now.

Turtle, I have a question.. Will we ever see specific forum searches?

Such as "Forum - Halo 3 Forum" or "Forum - Septagon"?

Um...is it just me or are the rules going to have to be enforced more strictly and have more strict rules? Sorry if this has been mentioned already.

But, as many of you know the flood has been filled with spam and "Rate the ______ above you" threads. The threads will come back and will forever take over. That also goes for many topics in all forums. The spam topics will come back from their death. Don't get me wrong the search feature is awsome, it's just that the mods will have to be on nearly 24/7 now just to keep everything mellow. Personally as I said before, the rules should become either more enforced or more strict since this new search feature.

Again, sorry if this has been posted/taken care of already.

Alright, that's cool. It's not really mandatory, since it's pretty easy to use as it is. I really like how it's easy to use, without sacrificing accuracy. :)

Who see the world’s great anguish and its wrong / And dare not speak.

Actually, it was mentioned a few posts before yours.

I think we'll probably see some bumping for a while. But I doubt it will be something the mods can't handle. And I would bet that after a while, it will calm down as the rules are enforced. But that's just my opinion.

I go to sleep one night and wake up the next day, and behold, Bungie.net has a Halo 2 Vista section and a nifty new search feature!

Is this using .NET 2.0? Because .NET Rocks!

Thanks a load dev team of like two people.

  • 08.24.2006 5:37 PM PDT

I <3 the search feature. I guess those two years were worth the wait, eh?

Now comes the onslaught of the "take out the search f34ture!" threads....

I thought the Idealbb .Net forums were only in Asp.net 1.0 or 1.1?
Unless you guys upgraded it ...?


And it works great...good job.
