+Deepdiggingmole Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 What has happened to the search function and in particular filtering - yesterday I was working through a particular filtered list of caches in NZ ready for a trip and today I cannot complete it due to the search page going to a map and no filters Quote Link to comment
+Deepdiggingmole Posted September 7, 2018 Author Share Posted September 7, 2018 just found the filter button !!!! Quote Link to comment
+HHL Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Yes. The filter button is now in the left frame's top left corner. ;-) Hans Quote Link to comment
+Deepdiggingmole Posted September 7, 2018 Author Share Posted September 7, 2018 Seems the filtering is now not as good as before An example Show only my solved coordinates - now only has two options - on or off which means you get the full list or only those with solved co-ords before I could list just those that didn't have solved co-ords - this is the selection I want but can no longer pull up it seems - or am I missing something Quote Link to comment
+Deepdiggingmole Posted September 7, 2018 Author Share Posted September 7, 2018 Just noted I seem to have been used to test a new version - it didn't do what I need to do and so have opted out Quote Link to comment
+Team Christiansen Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 With this new change, it is interesting that they left the old map not merging it with the new. From the main page (www.geocaching.com/play/search) you can click on View geocaching near you and get the regular map (www.geocaching.com/map), but by clicking on the search icon next to where the Filters button used to be, you get the new map (www.geocaching.com/play/map?st=&zoom=16). So there is two versions "/map" and "/play/map". I suspect that when the new one is tweaked and bugs are essentially fixed, they will merge the two. Quote Link to comment

Were you given any notification that you were being used as a guinea pig? Others who were selected seem to have been caught off-guard too. You'd think TPTB would let each user know what was happening, but it seems like they just sprung it on them with no warning or guidance. Quote Link to comment

No. I only just saw it Thursday evening, some time after others were already talking about it in this topic. Maybe they are gradually adding people until it is published widely? Quote Link to comment
+thebruce0 Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Yep, I posted about this apparent "test" rollout in this thread. You weren't alone. And not everyone knows they're in the group, or noticed they're in the group, or even knows what you might be talking about Quote Link to comment

Sorry just seen this - back from holiday now No I wasn't informed - I had to do a bit of digging to find out what it was about too - I needed to come out of it as it didn't do functions I needed prior to going on holiday - to be told if you come out of it you can't go back was a little rude I thought too - I'd have been happy to test it but as it didn't do what I wanted I had to pull out Quote Link to comment
+PereSant Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Yesterday, I, too, encountered the "new search". I had just finished setting filters on the old filter page, when I suddenly was switched to the hew one. I found the filter button on top left allright, but a very essential filter is missing: distance to location! It seems to be pre-set to a very small distance, as the list produced shows only 5 caches around me, and this cannot be changed. A real bug! 1 Quote Link to comment
+HHL Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 (edited) Zoom out the map. The map's boundary is a filter on it's own. Edited September 26, 2018 by HHL 1 Quote Link to comment
