Cannot search for gamertags

Hello, so I just tried to look you up and couldnt find you either. Are you sure this is your xbox gamertag??

If the system says it's taken, then it's in use somewhere on Microsoft's servers. The system does not see things like spaces as making a gamertag unique. So if you're searching for "gamertag" it may show as available but you cannot actually use it if it's
actually in use as "gamer tag".

Hello Cookie McCooks,

Thank you for posting on the Xbox forums. We understand that you are getting error messages when searching for certain gamertags. This may be due to the fact that some gamertags are released from Microsoft accounts, but they are not available to get
just yet. These gamertags take some time to become available to the public. We cannot say for sure. Does this error message appear when you search for gamertags on the
Xbox website instead of the console? Be sure to let us know the results!

Nope, if they allowed us to see a list of gamertags, a black hole would appear in Redmond and we would have to play from a different dimension, so learning the controls in an alternate universe is what xbox is preventing. be happy. your brain couldn't handle
the leaning curve. they are saving lives over in Washington, and, AND being the best parents the internet could ask for. my heros

I'll give them another call and maintain hopes that I can get some assistance on this issue from Xbox Support here on the forums as well. It's worth noting that the GamerTag cannot be searched for, it pulls no results.
