Tiny Bug

[+ibycus]

If you run a keyword search for a cache called [cache name] (there is one called exactly that), you get 238586 results, which interestingly isn't the same as running a search with no keywords (I get 240350 results for that)

 

Try it:

http://www.geocaching.com/seek/nearest.aspx?key=cache+name

It might be that events don't get found in your "cache name" search. I dunno... but I doubt it's a bug.

That looks like a SQL injection effect to me.

Well the bug, is that at least to me putting "[cache name]" as a keyword search term should retrieve caches with the words "[cache name]" in them. I just found it interesting that the result wasn't the same with no keywords...

I read the title to this thread and thought what a Great Idea!

 

With all the micros out there now, maybe we need some miniature travel bugs to place in them.

 

Now back to the original topic....
