SearchPage

This page is a Work in progress and needs severe fixes.

Feel free to contribute by editing the page. When it has the information needed in a readable form and in a decent formatted way, remove the FIXME template-tag.

Reason: Add information about advanced search.

Search contains search links within geocaching and some different search methods. The searches are divided into the two tabs "Quick links" and "Advanced Search".

Quick links

This category consists of a number of quick links for different kinds of searches. These are listed below.

GC Code

• Cache to visit cache page
• Log visit to visit log page

Keyword search

• A link to the old "search by Keyword" at Geocaching.com

Profile name

Quicklinks to search for a user's:

• Project-GC Profile Stats
• Geocaching.com Profile page
• Found caches with Geocaching.com's old search
• Hidden caches with Geocaching.com's old search
• Send E-mail to the user via Geocaching.com

Trackable

• A trackables main page

Location

Input of coordinates to:

• Convert coordinates using boulter.com
• Search all geocaches using Geocaching.com's old search
• Map using the old browser map at Geocaching.com

Wildcard search

The wildcard search has multiple fields available which can be referenced. The wildcard search uses extended query syntax.

The fields available are:

• GCcode
• Name
• Type
• Size
• Country
• Region
• County
• Placed_by
• Profile_name

Either search by complete words or add an asterix (*) in the start and/or end as a wildcard. To search a specific field @ can be used. For example "@county Uppsala" could be used to avoid getting hits from the region with the same name.
