identifying certain Wisconsin caches

Posted: Mon Nov 28, 2011 8:45 pm

Sometimes I want to know if a cache exists in Wisconsin that has a certain name or certain words in that name. I know how to get Wisconsin caches, and I know how to get caches with certain words in their names. Both give way too many returns.

Is there a way that I can search for caches in Wisconsin only with a certain word in the name? (kind of like "and" instead of "or")

Example: caches in Wisconsin only with the word "woods" in the cache name
Example: caches in Wisconsin only with the name "Park and Grab"

(Disclaimer: The examples are not ones I'm really looking for.)

I am doubtful that GC.com search engine can do much at all other than give you all the caches that have a particular word in the title. Searching for other players doesn't give you any returns unless you get the name exactly as it is, including upper/lower case and punctuation... what kind of search is that??? if I knew the user name exactly, I wouldn't be searching, would I?

Sorry for ranting and getting slightly off topic...

if you have a database of all the caches in wisconsin, you could easily find this using GSAK, the only cacher that I know that has that kind of database would be Team Black Cat.

Wow! Just think of how many of those there are world-wide!!!

I don't have GSAK. Every so often I get a whim, or I'm thinking of what to name my cache, and this capability would be nice. Just didn't know if I was missing something somewhere.

3 with "park & grab".
1095 with "park".
45 with "grab".
GSAK is so much fun. You just need a real computer.
