Player Search

I think CoC needs a search for players.

Hello and Welcome to the forums

Your idea of a player search function is currently ruled out by SC, this is most likely because it would cause a massive server overload as names are not unique in anyway. Please read the ruled out sticky below to avoid posting any more ruled out ideas.

Add a cooldown to it? One search per day?

This is a major request feature. I understand (i work in IT) your point of view, but many people ask for this.
I pretty sure you already discussed it, but i'm really surprised by the absence of this feature.


Moreover, the number of clan is about 25 times bigger than the numbers of player (assuming an average 25 players per clan). The numbers ARE NOT THAT DIFFERENT and clan names aren't unique either. However it's possible to search clans without any problem. I think a solution could be found...



Just my humble opinion.

A cooldown for searching players would become awkward.

There are less clans than players because think about the people who aren't in clans and all those inactive people. Clans with common names have problems as their name is too common and it doesn't show up in Clan search, it is limited to a number of results, if you limit the number of players returned it will cause much bigger problems.

Mhhh i see the problem. Indeed it's not very easy to solve.

Some poor fix could be, imho, the cooldown and/or a perfect-match search only.
I think that a poor solution it's anyway better than no-solution at all. But maybe the player search should come together with the (also very popular) one-to-one messages.

Well, i think that you know very well that players wants these features and i guess you know how to do your jobs, so there's nothing I can say too much helpful here.

Thank you for your kind reply.
Have a nice day,
