+lefisher Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 I need to find a cache with the word yellow in the title. Is it possible to search with a keyword from a cache name in a specific area eg UK? The US is too far for me to go! Quote Link to comment
+Bear and Ragged Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 The Groundspeak site search is not the best..! Most users use a third party app or software etc., eg. GSAK to perform the search. Quote Link to comment
+lefisher Posted December 28, 2013 Author Share Posted December 28, 2013 I have GSAK but I thought I could only enter cache lists via a PQ downloaded from the geocaching.com website. Are you saying that I can search for caches from within GSAK? Sorry if this is a stupid question. Quote Link to comment

If you have Version 8 of GSAK you can load 10,000 caches with very basic info (.loc file) which would allow you to then search for a name. Quote Link to comment

"Geocache yellow" os what I used and came up with about a dozen. Quote Link to comment
+redwoodkestrel Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Go to Project-GC.com and do a wildcard search for "Yellow United Kingdom." I get 317 caches returned, all with the word "yellow" in their title, all in the UK. Quote Link to comment
