The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) and Virgo are searching for the gravitational waves emitted during the inspiral and coalescence of binary systems composed of compact remnants: neutron stars and black holes. For relatively high-mass systems, a significant fraction of the signal-to-noise ratio will be contributed by the merger and ringdown portions of the waveform. We report on completed searches for high-mass compact-binary coalescences and present the observational results from these searches. We give an overview of ongoing high-mass searches being performed by the LIGO Scientific and Virgo collaborations. We also discuss future prospects as the instruments enter commissioning that will significantly enhance their sensitivity.
