Fleet not appearing in Fleet Search Roster

edited April 2014 in PC Gameplay Bug Reports
I made several ticket(s) regarding this bug, but never received a response, so I am making this post in an attempt to get this feature fixed for my fleet.

My fleet is "Starfleet Frontier Command"

For sometime now, my fleet has been invisible under the fleet search parameters. I suspect it has to do with the formation of the fleet just after launch, possibly not. But I have tried checking and unchecking time zones, languages, species, and everything else I could to get my fleet to appear in the search, but everything I try is to no avail. Please fix this. I have received no messages requesting any information since the formation of the fleet years ago.

    My ticket was erased as of creating it yesterday, and it certainly was not done by myself.

    And you've searched for your fleet's specific name? Much like the Exchange, the fleet search seems to only search for a limited number of milliseconds before returning search results. Sometimes you have to refresh your search multiple times. There are over 20,000 fleets. They're definitely not going to try and present all of them in that UI.

    I have entered in many search parameters. Try entering the exact name yourself. You can see 0 results are returned.

    Yeah I couldn't find it.

    You didn't explicitly say it, so I'll ask even though you probably double checked this: In the fleet window on the Information tab (between Roster and Settings) are "Hide From Fleet Search" and "Hide Fleet Search Member List" checked or unchecked?

    Gateway says his fleet is hidden, so this is a case of PEBKAC.

    It's unchecked, I even made sure.

    I was able to find your fleet in the search window. I just put in "Frontier", but had to hit the search button a couple times before in came up.

    I have the same problem searching for my fleet as well. Like a previous poster mentioned, a weak search engine.

    Hope this helps. :)
    Are we there yet?

    I see, thanks for checking for me, but that is indeed frustrating considering I wanted to be the owner of a fleet that didn't spam random invites unannounced rudely.

    Your welcome. :)

    Also, it appears that your fleet will not come up in the search if no one with invite permissions are on-line.

    I searched for my Klingon fleet while logged in as my Fed fleets CEO and was not able to get a return.

    Yes, it is a shame, as I too shudder at the thought of spamming invites....:(

    Oh I see, hopefully Cryptic can see this issue and work on it. Again thanks for the info :)

    No problem.

    If I may suggest, the most un-invasive way to recruit new members would be to use the forums. People often post looking for fleets, and you (if you have not already) could start a thread there. Keep checking daily and you never know what treasures (a good fleet member is a treasure to be sure) that you may find there....

    PS. If you do start a recruitment thread, be sure to bump it as many get buried quickly....
