+SamLowrey Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 (edited) I'm trying to re-trace my steps and find some caches I found about 10 years ago. They may be archived. I kinda remember what I said in the logs or notes. So if I could just see a page that had all the things I posted in logs or notes in one page then I could find it with CTRL-F or just scanning it. Is that possible? I can find is a list of all the caches and then I have to click on each one and then scroll back. Edited August 14, 2020 by SamLowrey Quote Link to comment
+van der Decken Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 You could do a "My Finds" Pocket Query. It'll have a single GPX text file with all your find logs in it. Load that into a text editor and find away. 1 Quote Link to comment
RuideAlmeida Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 (edited) You can see all the caches with your logs here... but then you will need to look on View Logbook / Your Logs, inside each cache. Probably not what you wish... Edited August 13, 2020 by RuideAlmeida Quote Link to comment

I've never really messed around with them but I guess this is the time to finally learn about it. Thanks. Quote Link to comment

Probably not what you wish... Yeah, that is as far as I was able to get. I thought there might be a way to display it with just one posting of mine after another with the content. I will try the pocket query as the person above suggested, I guess. Quote Link to comment

I did that but after comparing with the web view it doesn't seem to be picking up archived caches. And it doesn't include notes and I don't see a way to include them. Oh, well. I guess I will just have to do it manually because this is driving me crazy.... Quote Link to comment
+TmdAndGG Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 (edited) I think you can use GSAK. Try this, I found it on a related thread. https://gsak.net/board/index.php?showtopic=23051&st=0&#entry170597 Edited August 13, 2020 by TmdAndGG Quote Link to comment

I'm about to test it out. https://gsak.net/board/index.php?showtopic=23051&st=0&#entry170597 Thanks. Good to know. Will it pull in archived caches and notes? I finally tracked down what I was looking for. Since I don't have that many finds it isn't too bad but this kind of searching may come in handy one day. https://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?LUID=147cb2e3-f620-4aac-b706-96cbee56a917 Quote Link to comment

I think it gets every single log you've ever posted. I'm still trying to get it to work... GSAK is quite a learning curve from what I've heard, and it's my first time using it. Glad you found what you were looking for! Quote Link to comment

The 'My Finds' PQ does include every cache you've found (including those that have been archived), and all of the logs that you've written on those caches (including any DNFs, Write Notes, etc.). Were you trying to get this info through a PQ that you created? 'My Finds' is pre-defined and has it's own section on the Pocket Queries page. 2 Quote Link to comment

I will try using the builtin one to see if I get a different result. Edited August 14, 2020 by SamLowrey 1 Quote Link to comment
Keystone Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Yes, you will get a different result. Archived caches are ONLY included in a My Finds pocket query - not in a regular pocket query. If you need to search through note logs on caches that you have not found, these will not be in your "My Finds" query. Instead, use this link and check them out one at a time. Quote Link to comment

I ran that pre-built query and it included the archived caches whereas my custom one did not. Good to know! 1 Quote Link to comment

I'm not sure if you receive also all notes and DNFs on your found caches but you definitely do not receive DNFs, Notes, NMs, NAs on caches you never found and it takes a GSAK-Marko if you want to retrieve those texts to search within or to use the mentioned GSAK-Macro to print out a true diary of your logs. 1 Quote Link to comment

Yes, the My Finds PQ does include every other log you left on a given cache page - IF you found the cache. And correct, if you have not found a cache, any notes, DNFs, or other logs you left on that cache would not show up in the My Finds PQ. (It is, after all, the "My Finds" pocket query, not the "Every log I ever wrote" pocket query.) Quote Link to comment
