Search places may be on, but it doesn't work. So far, I can only search for places that are in the sim I'm standing in. If I cross sim borders, I can get search for things in that sim only.
also, searching people is broken. tried searching for myself, and apparently, I don't exist. neither does anyone else. even my own wife standing right next to me!
Yeah, fixed.

Search Places Still broken - Islands not showing
12-08-2006 16:43
Since comments are off on the blog, i have no other way to note that Search places is still totally broken.
I tested on multiple accounts from both private Island stores and mainland stores. While on the mainland a search for "Neko" will only show stores located on the mainland, but not stores on Private islands, no matter what their settings are. On a private island, searches only return results for THAT private island. The issues with search are currently the greatest single issue for any and all businesses operating in second life. If people can not find my store, why would I pay you for all these islands? I run a business. This is my income. This is my investment. Currently my sales are suffering dramatically because people can not find my stores. Half my sales come from first time shoppers seeking the items I sell that few others offer. They use search to find me. Without search I am dead in the water. This is not an "inconvienance" as you all keep saying. This is a financial disaster for many businesses. Please fix this ASAP. _____________________

Search functionality should be returned but.....
12-08-2006 18:15
From 'Official' Linden blog; [2:55pm PST]: We have turned Search Places back on, which means that all of the Search functionality should be returned. Please note, we have changed search such that: - When searching for Places on the mainland, you will only be able to view results from the mainland and from estates who have marked “Access for Mainland” in their estate tool. - When searching for Places on an estate which is not accessible by the mainland, you will see both results from that estate, from the mainland and from any estates where “Access for Mainland” is enabled. What? Was there a community roundtable about the proposed changes in search or was it available in a preview? I can't even understand what is written here. Is it in F1 yet? Does this effect classified and event searches also? Are our islands defaulted as "Access for Mainland" enabled? Why throw this out on a Friday afternoon and then leave is struggling with no support all weekend? Now when I use search the only results that get returned are the places on my island. Is this the desired result of search? _____________________
