PQ Splitter differing to PQ

Question

We were using the PQ Splitter and resulting PQs to find a cache placed on a particular date - but the results didn't add up. We have narrowed this down to ......

Ask the PQ Splitter for any UK, traditional, any size, hidden from 30 September 2014 to 30 Sept 2014 and the result is 47 caches.

Ask for the PQ for UK, trad, any size, between 30 Sept 2014 and 30 Sept 2014 and the result is 27 caches.

Other September dates match between PQS and PQ.

We thought it might be a server delay so waited a few days and re-ran but with the same results. We waited more days in case of weekly updates but still no difference.

Any caches archived would have gone from both the PQS and the PQ by now. (We kept a watch on another few caches and archived caches are picked up by both PQS and PQ within a few hours).

What have we failed to do / understand ?  Placed date, type, size, UK are the same for both.

2014 is probably too old to be a cache hidden but not yet published.

How do we see the 47 caches which the PQ Splitter finds please?

Thanks

Answer 1

Use map compare to do that:

The following query ignores the archived caches and return all the 47:

https://project-gc.com/Tools/MapCompare?profile_name=searcherdog&country=United+Kingdom&nonefound=on&onefound=on&bothfound=on&max_distance=1&hidden_fromyyyy=2014&hidden_frommm=9&hidden_fromdd=30&hidden_toyyyy=2014&hidden_tomm=9&hidden_todd=30&type%5B%5D=Traditional+Cache&showdisabled=on&submit=Filter

If you click also the archived checkbox, you get 81 caches.

Hope it helps.

Thanks to Jakuje. I've had a quick look and the missing ones are a series which includes GC5DY8E. It appears this series was archived on 20th January but is still being picked up in today's PQ Splitter. Will investigate further after work if I survive the snow!

The Map Compare answer was the tool I needed. Many thanks Jakuje.
