Bungie.NEXT : Switch 101

If you were a user on the [url=http://halo.bungie.net]previous version of Bungie.net[/url] and would like to adapt your old working habits, you've come to the right place. This guide will explain what has been added, changed, and removed from the site. It is currently a work in progress so please feel free to correct any inaccurate information and provide feedback on how this guide can be improved. I do apologize in advance if your eyes bleed from the walls of text. When the beta is over, I will incorporate images and video so this guide is easier to follow. Note: This is only 1 of 2 support guides. The [b]Bungie.NEXT Support 101[/b] guide has not been posted yet. The second guide will be geared toward users that are completely new to Bungie.net and did not use the old site (second guide will include website and Bungie game related FAQ as well as information on how to create an account, link/un-link authentication services, post on the forums, ect.). If you're interested in helping, feel free to send me a private message.

    [b]CHANGED:[/b] [quote][b]User search has been improved.[/b] The old search would require you to input at least 3 characters to return results (Exception: if a 1 character or 2 character username existed and was searched, it would display only that user). The new search will return results for a 1+ character search (you cannot perform a blank search or a search with just a space). The search will return the first 100 users that match the criteria, sorted by Unique ID. It will not display the total number of users that match the search criteria. User search will find Display Names and Unique IDs, but it will not find Aliases (previous display names or unique IDs). If you search for two words, results will only show Display Names and Unique IDs that contain both words. For example, let's say user ID Achronos had his display name set to Tom, searching for Tom Achronos would not bring up his profile. [b]Topics search has been improved.[/b] The old forum search allowed you to search in all public forums or a specific public forum, however, results would inaccurate, outdated, or nonexistent. The new Bungie.net doesn't have 6 public Bungie forums and 7 public Game forums, but rather just one forum with the integration of tags to filter content as well as different sorting options. Please see the Forum section for more information. A topics search can contain a maximum of 4 search terms. This search uses the Topic's title and tags to find relevant content. It will display up to 26 topics that match the search criteria, sorting by most recent topic (creation date). It will not display the total number of topics that match the search criteria. If multiple search terms are used, only topics that include all search terms will be displayed. Although searching for comments and replies isn't an option at this time, the topics search now display results of group topics that have been made visible to public. [b]Group search has been changed.[/b] The search terms you input look for matching criteria in the Group Name field (like the old website) as well as the Group Description and Group Tags (new). Searching groups by founder and location are no longer available. Ordering results by Group Name (Descending) Founder Name (Ascending/Descending), Location (Ascending/Descending), Member Count (Ascending/Descending), and Creation Date (Ascending) are no longer available. You can still search with 2 spaces for the effect of a blank search, which will return the total number of groups that exist on the website, but now only a maximum of 100 results are displayed, sorted by Group Name. A better option is to visit the Explore Groups page, where you can view an unlimited number of groups that match your search criteria (26 results per page). The Explore Groups page allows you to perform searches for groups as well (including a blank search). The benefit to using this page is the sorting and filtering options. You can filter groups created Today, This Week, This Month, This Year, or All Time. You can sort groups by Group Name (Ascending), Popularity, and Creation Date (Descending).[spoiler]I'm not exactly sure how the Popular sorting option works.[/spoiler][/quote] [b]REMOVED:[/b] [quote]News Search, Games Search, Support Search, Forums - Author Search, Halo 2 Player Search, Halo 2 Clan Search, Halo 3 Player Search, Halo 3 Files Search, Halo 3: ODST Player Search, Halo 3: ODST Files Search, Halo: Reach Player Search, and Halo: Reach Files Search have been removed from Bungie.net. You can still access a user's Recent Activity (post history) by visiting their profile page.
