+trekkerdmc Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Working on a challenge that require you to have A thru Z and 0 thru 9 as the first character of the CO's name. Is there a search feature on the geocaching website that I can use for this? Thank you 1 Quote Link to comment

+Harry Dolphin Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 I used GSAK. Sorted my pocket queries by CO name. Finally found a CO whose name started with 5. A fair distance off. 1 Quote Link to comment

Although when you say you sorted a pocket query, did you just do a general pocket query of all caches in a radius before d/l'ing to GSAK and then sorting? Quote Link to comment

Covers 65 miles from home. Download them to GSAK. Then sort. Quote Link to comment

The search function for the geocaching website isn't designed to facilitate finding a list of caches to complete challenge caches. There are lots of challenge caches with different criteria and trying to tweak the search engine to that it can be used for all of them would be a nightmare. Quote Link to comment
+IceColdUK Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 You can also check the qualifying caches of previous finders - see which COs they’ve used. Quote Link to comment
