I’m trying to search for my friend to play, he just started playing on PC, I’m on Switch. We both have cross play on and searched the name with the #. Is anyone else having issues with with?

    I'm actually having the same problem rn, I was trying to play with my gf and I'm on pc and and she was gonna use the switch but when I clicked the search button no results popped up, not one. It was completely blank. Glad to see I'm not the only one. I used the # thing too and nothing.

    The same thing happens to me, I try to search for friends and nothing appears, it's as if the magnifying glass to search doesn't work and it's overwhelming. If you found a solution I appreciate it :)

    There's no solution to this as yet, it's being worked on from our end - we've also given a login bonus as a gesture of goodwill due to the issues from yesterday and the friends issue that people are currently affected by.

    The search was working a few days ago but me and my brother couldn't find each other in the list. He's on PlayStation and I'm on PC.

    Is there any update to this?

    My friend is from Epic Games and mine is Steam. She can search for me but I cannot search for her.

    To add to my observations, there are only 10 search results at any point of time, however typing her full name yields no result.

    When she found me, she tried to invite me, however my gamertag changed after logging out and logging in but the search results still show the old gamertag
