+rossmalone Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Hi Guys, Does anyone know how I can search by attributes? Just tried to do it using the pocket queries but it turned up no results. I'm pretty sure there will be at least some caches within a 500 mile radius with some of those attributes. Where am I going wrong? Quote Link to comment

Where am I going wrong? I ran a PQ near your last found cache. I randomly chose the wheelchair attribute. 500 caches fit the criteria. Quote Link to comment
+on4bam Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Most of the time when things go wrong with PQs it has to do with conflicting options. Try a PQ with just one option chosen en work from there. Quote Link to comment

For example, searching for both "I haven't found" and "I have found" produces nothing, because there is no cache that meets both criteria. Likewise, searching for both "I don't own" and "I own" produces nothing, because there is no cache that meets both criteria. And so on. Quote Link to comment

Uncheck the checkboxes "Found" and "Not found". A single cache can't be in both statuses. Hans NB: cross posted with niraD. What he said. Edited April 13, 2020 by HHL Quote Link to comment
+Isonzo Karst Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 (edited) Attributes are additive in a PQ. Example: you're interested in Abandoned Structure and Tree Climbing, if you select both, the query will ONLY return caches that have BOTH. Likely you'll get nothing.

Please go to the edit page of the desired PQ and copy the URL. Paste the URL here, so we can check your settings. No fear - we can't edit your PQ, the given URL will just create a PQ to our own account. Hans Quote Link to comment
