Moun10Bike Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 How soon after removing the notes did you run the search? Quote Link to comment
+Jiver78 Posted April 27, 2016 Author Share Posted April 27, 2016 How soon after removing the notes did you run the search? The "youngest" deleted note is 2 days ago. The "oldest" note was deleted in begin of april, I suppose. Quote Link to comment
Moun10Bike Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 There are definitely some bugs going on here. I've notified our engineering team. Thanks! Quote Link to comment
+Jiver78 Posted November 5, 2016 Author Share Posted November 5, 2016 The bug is back again. Quote Link to comment
+Jiver78 Posted November 7, 2016 Author Share Posted November 7, 2016 Faszinating... I just recognized that a cache with a note deleted today is not displayed in my search. After adding a new note to all caches, that had a deleted note, and deleting this new note all this caches didn't appear in my search results anymore. Quote Link to comment
+Jiver78 Posted January 9, 2017 Author Share Posted January 9, 2017 (edited) I announced it already half a year ago: http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php?showtopic=338747&st=0&p=5618720&fromsearch=1entry5618720 And it still appears regularly: I search for caches with an individual note and caches appear in the result list which *had* a personal note, but that was deletet long time (months) ago. Interestingly for all caches shown, notes were added end september / begin of october 2016. After adding a new note and deleting it again, the caches disappear in the list of results.

+Jiver78 Posted April 21, 2017 Author Share Posted April 21, 2017 Bug still not solved. Actually I get around 10 caches as results when searching for caches with a personal note. Except two of them, all had notes that were deleted weeks ago. Quote Link to comment
+Jiver78 Posted July 30, 2017 Author Share Posted July 30, 2017 And it happens again... Quote Link to comment
+Jiver78 Posted August 2, 2017 Author Share Posted August 2, 2017 Today: a search for my caches with a personal note. The result shows 106 Caches. Nearly all of them had a personal note once, but deleted weeks to months ago. All others had a note that is already deleted. Weeks to monthes ago. (I use the personal note to add comments while I'm on tour. At home all notes are copied to GSAK and deleted on GC.com) Quote Link to comment
Moun10Bike Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 I can confirm that the issue exists when I spoof log in as you and run the query. I can also confirm that the issue goes away when I add a new note to these caches and then delete it. What method are you using to add these notes and delete them? Are you using the API, or making the changes via the web? Quote Link to comment
+Jiver78 Posted August 5, 2017 Author Share Posted August 5, 2017 For the Notes I use the website only. Quote Link to comment
+Jiver78 Posted August 8, 2017 Author Share Posted August 8, 2017 (edited) add: I added and deleted new notes in some of the "false positive" listed caches yesterday, so they weren't listed in the results anymore. Today this caches are back in the list... Am I the only one with this bug? Working with GSAK, Win10 and Firefox. But notes I only edit via the website.

+Jiver78 Posted September 3, 2017 Author Share Posted September 3, 2017 ...still not fixed... Quote Link to comment
+agash Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 I can confirm this bug. Searching for "with personal note" found also caches with a "empty" personal note, that I have delete before. The most I have delete a year ago. I tested it today, when I set a personal note in the WebUI, after a few seconds I can found this cache, when I'm searching "with personal note". When I delete the note, after a few seconds it will be found again. After a few minutes, it will not be found. But when I filter to "with personal note" and the cachetype, it will be found again. And after this it will be found also when only search for "with personal note". Quote Link to comment
+Jiver78 Posted November 1, 2017 Author Share Posted November 1, 2017 And again a month is gone without fixing this problem... Quote Link to comment
+Jiver78 Posted January 2, 2018 Author Share Posted January 2, 2018 Happy new year, dear bug... Can I set a NA for the filter "Has Personal Geocache Note"? NMs doesn't change the status... Quote Link to comment
+Lilski Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Still problems? It seems like deleting the Personal Cache Note on a cache page doesn't change it to an empty state. When filtering caches which have a Personal Cache Note it also returns caches with Personal Cache Notes I've previously deleted. I'm using Edge on Windows 10. As an example GC7GWR1. I deleted the Personal Cache Note a month ago. Quote Link to comment
+Jiver78 Posted May 9, 2018 Author Share Posted May 9, 2018 (edited) Oh, I missed the second birthday of reproting this bug.... Actually I have about 100 caches with deleted personal note, that are still found when searching caches with the filter "has a individual note"... but it looks like nobody at Groundspeak cares Addendum: looks like the old "workaround" works: adding a new text to the empty note and deleting it again. I will check this tomorrow again. But I'm not willing to do that with 100 caches... Edited May 9, 2018 by Jiver78 addendum Quote Link to comment
+Megalodon Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 And even with the new API this problem still exists, Hey guys at Groundspeak, what's going on with this problem? You are not able to solve this problem ? I realized that it happens with a lot of changed notes (>10.000). When I checked it with an account that has only about 1.000 changed notes, the problem does not appear. Quote Link to comment
+Megalodon Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 (edited) I used the new API call: gcapi2("geocaches/search?q=hn%2Bpd:[2014-01-01,2014-12-31]&lite=yes&take=100&sort=id&fields=referenceCode") Edited December 7, 2018 by Megalodon info added according API Quote Link to comment
+The A-Team Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 I wouldn't have thought this would be a big deal to sort out. As far as fixing the root cause, I wouldn't expect it to take long to figure out which piece of code is failing to clear the flag (it should be in the part dealing with the note deletion). Once that's dealt with, a script doing something like the following could clear up all of the existing instances of the issue: if($hasNote AND $noteContents == NULL){ $hasNote = FALSE; } I guess the devs have been tasked to work on new features like the new map/search rather than deal with longstanding issues with existing features like this. 3 1 Quote Link to comment
+Megalodon Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 I think The A-Team is right, but the task to do is not that complicated, I think. Mayby a develloper from Groundspeak can answer ? Quote Link to comment
+Megalodon Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 I see, nothing getting better here... and even if I delete all the notes, the variables in the database are not reset ? Can please somebody of the programmers respond ? What for am I paying 30€ per year ? The boxes taht have been put by my friends? Quote Link to comment
+Megalodon Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Just today I remind me this error with too many finds for changed notes, but which are NOT changed any more still exists. It's a month ago now, how about asking the guys at Groundspeak to fix this issue, it's not that hard to fix, I think, is it ?! Quote Link to comment
