pocket queries not working

[+The Canning Clan]

Can anone tell me why my pocket queries are coming back empty?

I systematically have gone thru it and there seems to be no errors, I have tried fom coords and from postal code and both come up "no results".

Any help would be appreciated

Could you be more specific?

 

What "Exactly" did you enter?

My first one came back with nothing, too. So, I entered the data I wanted the next day and got results. Unfortunately, I can't tell you what I did different the second time, but I do know I checked a couple of other items.

I am still havng no luck...I am entering a query for caches from my home coords. I have tried leaving eveything blank except coords and I'vr tried checking off stuff lke "I have not found" etc. My queries all come back "no results"

I've also tried from postal codes too and same result, getting frustrated

Everything seems to be working for me. Are you check marking everything IE: day of week, check next to zip code, so forth so on.

Copy the link to your query and post it here so we can take a look at it and figure out what you might be doing wrong.

 

The most problem is checking too many boxes. Ie "I have found" and "I have not found" as you've either found a cache or not, so no cache will meet both of those choices.

 

Remember most (all?) of the choices are AND choices, not OR choices, so any cache has to meet ALL the selections you've checked in order for it to be returned in the query.

Warrior....you nailed it...thanks......."and"

As a tip for others who have similar problems... I find the best thing to do is to not check anything except for your location (zip or coordinates) and then PREVIEW the results after saving it. You can preview as many times as you want and it doesn't count against your 5 PQs per day. preview will show you exactly what caches to expect in your e-mail. Once you have some, then work one by one on the other check boxes to fine tune your selections.

 

After you have it looking as you want, then pick your day to run it.
