queries/search

Is there any way for me to limit a search for a specific keyword to a specific area? Say I want to find all the caches in a specific area with "sudoku" in the title, is that possible?

 

You can search easily for the keyword or title, but the results are worldwide. You can search easily for caches in an area with queries, but you can't specify a title or keyword.

 

Any way to do this?

Not with the site tools right now - I have long advocated an expansion of the pocket query criteria to include things like keyword and owner.

I sure wish. There are many improvements they could make to the Seek a Cache page, let alone the Pocket Queries page. A similar wish would be keyword by cache owner.

Download the pocket query of the area you want to search, upload the file to GSAK, then search for the name you want in the search box.

Clumsy at best.

Sure it is clumsy. But until Groundspeak gives us the tools to do it directly, it's the best way we have to do the requested search. If you know a better way, I'd love to hear about it.
