1. You can't search for MA arcs outside of the game for the same reason you can't access your friends list, your character selection, the market, or global chat outside the game. It's sort of like how you need to be logged into the game to email items to a friend.
2. A while ago the dev team unveiled the City Vault, which was basically a website which would show details about your character - powersets, badges, IOs, whatever. That got more or less shelved due to resource problems (and lack of development time as focus shifted elsewhere, I'd assume), so I'm not sure if it'll ever see the light of day.

Why do purchasers of that annoying "toy" always assume that it needs to everything under the sun, including load the dishwasher and walk the dog, as if those of us who don't have the blessings of smart-phonery will be happy to see resources go down the drain to support their habit.

OK, seriously, Rachel has it right. Spend dev time and other resources on something the majority can potentially use, instead of just the few who have dropped big bucks into a phone.

Your post is nothing more than newer version of an old fart telling them darn kids to get off his lawn. Do you realize how out of touch and ignorant you sound?
I actually don't care for this idea, mainly because I just don't think it is that useful. But your reasoning for being against it just makes you sound old and out of touch.
