+Munkeh Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 seems at the moment this site is useless unless you live in the states, there is no way of finding anything throughout the whole of the uk, say I was traveling from one end of the country to the other looking for places of interest you cannot filter the data by country and most of the data is based in the states I can filter by post code...but that is just my local area do I have to aquire a postcode directory to find what I want to see?

+cache_test_dummies Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 you cannot filter the data by country and most of the data is based in the states You can use the "Advanced Search" feature to search by country: Link to comment
+Munkeh Posted September 18, 2005 Author Share Posted September 18, 2005 what advanced search? Link to comment
+Touchstone Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 I don't have the Advanced Search option either. In order to do any searches in my area at this point, I have to drill down to a Category and search by either one of my Origins, or by Zip Code. Just be patient. Things are still in Beta. Suffice it to say, there's probably not too many Waymarks in your area yet. Just grab a few Category Descriptions and start making your own. That's what I've done, and so far I've only seen one other Waymark in my area. Link to comment
+mini cacher Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 what advanced search? your picture is of the Location Filter box not the very similar looking Waymark Search box that is above it. Also, I believe you need to turn off the Location Filter to get the Advanced Search link in the Waymark Search box Link to comment
+Team Robrad Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 Also, I believe you need to turn off the Location Filter to get the Advanced Search link in the Waymark Search box I don't have to have the filter on for advance search...maybe just me? You have to be in one of the three categories to do advanced search: People, Places, Things. Once in there, if you look to the right there will be two boxes, a filter box and a search box. Look in the search box and there should be the link. Link to comment
+mini cacher Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 right.. I said you need the filter off. I just went back and checked and with my Location Filter ON, the Waymark Search box changes to a "Search Now!" button Link to comment
+Tsegi Mike and Desert Viking Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 I had a hard time finding it too. In my opinion, the advanced search feature needs to be readily visible to us. Perhaps on the home page there could be a small something to show us where it is? This feature isnt very user simple to find. Link to comment
