Serenii Astarael	Posted - 2008.12.20 01:47:00 - [1] Hey, Like most of you, I was excited to see Evelopedia replace the old and incorrect Item Database. So I moseyed on over there and, picking something random to see how the wiki would display ship data, searched for "Chimera". Nothing. Searched "Carrier." Nothing. Nothing for microwarpdrive or afterburner either. The only thing I found that wasn't a transcription of an in-game tutorial was a list of all the orbital bodies in solar systems, which is...nice, but we have the map for that. Wasn't this supposed to be a 'new, complete item database' (quoting as I remember it from the email). Does CCP want us to make it ourselves? Nice idea CCP, but please refrain from advertising something as "awesome" when you want it to be player-generated.

Sorry, it appears I was mistaken - pages exist, but the search engine can't find them. Sucks less. And no, once something is emailed out to the whole of the playerbase in an official newsletter, it's not "Beta". It's done, or done enough to be supposedly useful.

CCP is very good at making search functions and their web development team is wonderful and produces much of value, such as the fan submissions section. - - - - - - - - - Do not use dotted lines - - - - - - - If you think I'm awesome, say BOOO BOOO!! - Ductoris Neat look what I found - Kreul Hey, my marbles
PROTOCOL	Posted - 2008.12.20 02:18:00 - [8] Search seems to be working fine for me, returned 2 results for chimera, the ship and the BPO. There are 3 catagories returned in the search results, page title, page text, and item database. Are you sure you were looking at the correct result set? The item database results are on the bottom of the search results.
