The new search tool could be good.
Maybe as they're listening they may bring back virtuals ;) :D
What else do you think they've got up their sleeves? And what
would you like to see added?

Have you notice the size of the bio window in your profile has
gone down to just four lines, with a scroll bar, when you are
editing it :o
Yes, it still has all the info (many many lines) displayed but
makes it more difficult to edit within gc.com, so now I do it on
notepad. I wonder why they did that ??? ::)
A quick search box for GC numbers on the 'front page' of your
home page, rather than right at the bottom of the "Hide and Seek
a cache" menu.

On Firefox there is an option to drag the lower right corner,
and make the box bigger.
(Also get it on these forums too!)
Think Chrome has it too...

What I liked which I read on the GS forum was the idea for a
Geocaching Dashboard to replace the My (private) Profile page.
Someone suggested having a section of it listing nearby local
events over the next few weeks (distance from home and timespan
configurable) and recently published caches (types and distance
from home configurable) :)

Just tried to find a cache in the new search tool with the word
"Raven" in it -

Used the old method - 444 caches :)

Now having used the 'new' search tool for a while, how do I find
I'm using it searching by cache name?
- Is it in my GSAK database, get GC number from there
- Not in GSAK and no clue where this cache is, Google it
- Still can't find it - give up with GS 'new' search tool just
shows DNF without a location - use the Advanced Search
What do I think of this 'new' search tool:
RUBBISH

I think there was another little update to the Search recently,
did that change it so you can search by names yet? I can't see
that it does.

I just tried it, searched for some caches called Below Above,
which it DNF'ed on.
Added my home location but this only allows a search distance of
30 miles, so still DNF'ed >:(

Below Above. 12 caches.
HTML https://www.geocaching.com/seek/nearest.aspx?key=below<br
/>above&submit4=Go&sortdir=desc&sort=placed
Will list them with most recent at top of the list...
I started with searching for Church Micro listings (
HTML https://www.geocaching.com/seek/nearest.aspx?key=church+micro&submit4=Go&sortdir=desc&sort=placed<br
/>) before the new search came in, and replacing the cache name
seems to [still] work as a search.
