+R4D4R Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 Is there an easier way to search for a keyword inside of a cache's hints rather than opening each and just scanning through them? Say I want to look for some term "water" in all caches close to a ZIP. Is there any good way to do it rather than opening each and then doing the CTRL+F thing? Link to comment
Keystone Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 1. If you were a premium member, you could order a Pocket Query of all caches close to that zipcode, and then use third party waypoint management software to search *inside* the cache description for your keyword, returning only the caches that mentioned "water." On the site, you can only search for keywords that are part of the cache name. (You could also go through Google specifying Geocaching.com as the site to be searched, but that's imperfect.) 2. If you wanted to search for "water" because you're interested in caches that require a boat, then in the future, there are plans for the "Cache Attributes" to be searchable. See the pinned thread on that subject at the top of this forum. Link to comment

+Anonymous' Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Heehee, wouldn't really work for here since 80% of our caches have "stump" in their clues. Link to comment
