+qbee37 Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Let's see: Find and display an archived cache: Old search New search (can't find it, but thousands of caches near it do) Search for caches found by a specified user: Old search New search Search for a specific GC# and get only that cache returned: Old search New search Search for a specified cache type (e.g., webcam) in within 500 miles: Old search New search (30 mile max) Page contents easily read by folks over 40: Old format New format (difficult to see light green number of finds on slightly darker green background. I'll usability over aesthetics any day) Quote Link to comment

+Great Scott! Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Here's a list of caches found by you. Didn't need the search page. http://www.geocaching.com/seek/nearest.aspx?ul=qbee37 Went to your profile page and clicked the Geocaches Tab You can go to anyone's profile page and view the caches they have found.

+New Market Mallers Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 You used to be able to search for caches found by a specific user. Did they explain why they took that away? When you searched by the GC code of an archived cache, it used to come up. Now it doesn't. Again, did they explain why they took this functionality away? Quote Link to comment
+Great Scott! Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 You can easily view the results of a pocket query (without having to download it) for webcams within 500 miles of you. Or view all the webcam caches in the US with a PQ. Quote Link to comment
+Great Scott! Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Type the GC code in a Google search. Odds are it's the first search result returned. Quote Link to comment
+Great Scott! Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 I use GC Little Helper in my Chrome and Firefox browsers. On any geocaching page I can search a GC code. Quote Link to comment
+Mockingbird559 Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Type the GC code in a Google search. Odds are it's the first search result returned. I have to go to Google to find a specific cache?????? Quote Link to comment
Keystone Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 No. There are four ways to search by GC Code right on the website, numerous Geocaching Live! API partner applications that can bring up the results from their side, and shortcut sites like GeocachingAdmin.com. Google is just one more tool. It is perhaps best used when you aren't certain of a cache's exact name, and you're having difficulties with the new search tool on the website. Quote Link to comment
+Walts Hunting Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 (edited) Type the GC code in a Google search. Odds are it's the first search result returned. I have to go to Google to find a specific cache?????? No but I have found on several occasions that it works faster than getting through the setup on the GS page especially if you include site:www.geocaching.com in the search.
