FirRojo Posted December 31, 2011 Posted December 31, 2011 Anyone else not have a search button or when you go to post history it tells you that you do not have permission to do a search?
Amnolith Posted December 31, 2011 Posted December 31, 2011 (edited) I explained why here:http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?p=984452#post984452 and again the thread was shut down just like this one will because you are complaining about something that is not about the game. EDIT: the search is there, it is just turned off (look at the source) because they are using a 2 year old version of vbulletin Edited December 31, 2011 by Amnolith
jibboo Posted December 31, 2011 Posted December 31, 2011 Bioware seems to have issues with search features in general.
Amnolith Posted December 31, 2011 Posted December 31, 2011 Bioware seems to have issues with search features in general. Bioware has issues with people discussing anything that has a negative opinion of their game/teams/tools and disguise their censoring behind yellow text telling you nicely that you should only be talking about the game and nothing else otherwise your threads will be closed. They have no feedback or bugs forums and are not interested in player comments outside of the game itself. Even if you talk about the game, your threads will be closed if they are negative. See how many threads are open because they critic the Auction House for having no search function because the servers can t handle the load...
Temaris Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 This is BS. They are more anal about non topics than the fools over at that other sci fi mmo that takes place in space......but the lack of a search function is what keeps me off these forums.
Esresro Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 Search takes up a ton of recorces. Example... If you search the word "The" the site will list every thread/post as a result and slow the site down. Currently this site is receving tons of hits and if the search funtion was in place it would be slowed down or offline a lot and the same people would be here complaining.
SodaOfYoda Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 (edited) Yeah these boards suffer without search. As fast as threads move in some categories, it takes awhile of weeding through to find a particular topic. I've seen a couple resourceful threads now buried deep within a few pages.

Moitteva Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 Hi there, Currently the forum search function is turned off while some maintenance is completed. The information regarding this was originally posted by Amber Green, here, on December 14th: 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.
