Search functionality desperately needs to be updated

[+kathysgeek]

When is Groundspeak going to update the horribly limited cache search functionality?

Searching by leading text in the cache name hearkens back to the pre-web days.

 

Free search index tools such as http://lucene.apache.org/core/ are available.

A good search will add some load to the servers but isn't that what we are paying for with premium memberships?

 

It makes good business sense to improve the online tools to capture more web clicks. Forcing cachers to download pocket queries into GSUK just to perform adequate searches leaves the door wide open to competitors.

Opencaching.com has no traction, but if Google jumped into the game Groudspeak would be out of business in a week.

I don't want to see that come to pass.

 

Please Groundspeak!
