BionicChipmunk Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 (edited) I am perplexed at the fact that a person cannot search these forums. The developers can create an entire virtual world but cannot add a simple search feature so we can actually make use of all the topics and help in these forums!? :mad: ADD A SEARCH FEATURE IN THE FORUMS !!!!

Llenyd Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 (edited) They removed it right before launch because of the server load it creates. In the meantime, you can go to Google and add site:swtor.com to the end of your search. Edited December 22, 2011 by Llenyd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdgdcg Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 The search feature appears and disappears continuously on the forums... it happened on the beta, one day it was there, and the next... vanished. Theorically it's in http://www.swtor.com/community/search.php but... well... the page is there, but nobody cant access it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otosh Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 I came to post something similar. I was looking for help for a few questions I had and wondered why I couldn't search the forums. It just creates more duplicate posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trineda Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 (edited) Hello everyone, Currently, the forum search function is turned off while we complete some maintanence. The information regarding this was originally posted by Amber Green, here,: Hello everyone! For the next several days, we will be performing some back end maintenance on the Star Wars・ The Old Republic・Forums. During this time, you will be unable to use the search function for the Forums. However, there will be no other effects to you as a user, and you will be able to continue to message, post, reply, and report as normal. We apologize for any inconvenience. When maintenance has been completed and searching is functional again we will post here, so please watch this thread for any updates or additional information. We hope this answers your question! Updates will be viewable in the Developer Tracker as they become available. Edited December 22, 2011 by Trineda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorBeckett Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Will the Forum search return after tomorrow's maintenance period, when the forums are put back up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BionicChipmunk Posted December 23, 2011 Author Share Posted December 23, 2011 (edited) Thank you for the information - Frankly, I think this is really poor planning, especially for a game / fan base of this magnitude. Not being able to search the very forums that we are supposed to get support from ... makes as much sense as having cleats for bowling.
