+The Wobbly Club Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Hi Some time ago I noticed an add on to Firefox so that you could enter a waypoint name into the search bar. For the life of me I cannot remember where I saw it. Can some one please advise. Many thanks. Colin Quote Link to comment
Edgemaster Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 I did a search on Mycroft (the search plugins bit of mozilla) and up it popped. The boulter-powered quick search one is the best. (first on that list) Quote Link to comment

SlytherinAlex Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 It would be nice if you we could have a similar search box that searches for the cache by name (or part name) rather than by GC number. Quote Link to comment
+walkergeoff and wife Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 It would be nice if you we could have a similar search box that searches for the cache by name (or part name) rather than by GC number. By mistake, having used this to find a cache, I then, without reverting to Google, did a search for Stansted. It came up with a choice of two caches with Stansted in the title, with links to them both! I have now searched for one of my caches, simply putting part of the name in, and, guess what? It came up with it. Looks like it does it. Quote Link to comment

The first search tool on the page I linked to can search by many things. It uses Boulter's Geocaching Quick Search as the backend - http://boulter.com/gqs/ Quote Link to comment
