Searching Using GeoQO

Searching is described in full in the manual page, but here are a few simple examples:

Searching by cache attributes

This searches for (-s) all caches owned by Yamar and lists them (-l):

 geoqo -s cache:owner_name==Yamar -l

This searches for all caches of type Unknown and owned by Yamar:

 geoqo -s "subtype==Unknown&&cache:owner_name==Yamar" -l

(note that you need to put quotes around the search term because it contains '&&'s which some command line prompts will try and treat specially

This searches for all caches of type Unknown and owned by Yamar and are at least 2.5 in difficulty:

 geoqo -s 'subtype==Unknown&&cache:owner_name==Yamar&&cache:difficulty>=2.5' -l

This searches for all caches with "cool" in the title:

 geoqo -s 'cache:urlname=cool' -l

(note the single '=' sign, unlike the double '=' signs above. A double equal sign means an exact match, and a single means match if any part of the field matches. IE, it searches for *cool*)

Search Operators

Logical Operators

:this&&that; search results must contain both this and that
:this||that; search results match on either this or that or both.
:(this||that)&&other: Using ()s allows grouping of logic

Search types

TBD (see the list on the main web page)

Comparison Operators

:this==that; an exact match... field this must match the value that exactly
:this=that; a fuzzy match... field this has to have that somewhere in it's value. Equivelent to ==*that* .
:this>that; field this value must be greater than value that
:this>=that; field this value must be greater than or equal to value that
:this<that; field this value must be less than value that
:this<=that; field this value must be less than or equal to value that

Searching Logs

searches for all caches found by Yamar and counts (-d) them:

 geoqo -s log:finder=Yamar -d count

searches for all caches not found by Yamar and not found by ClayJar:

 geoqo -s 'log:finder<>Yamar&&log:finder<>ClayJar' -d count

searches for all caches found by BlueNinja but haven't been found by Yamar or ClayJar:

 geoqo -s 'log:finder=BlueNinja&&log:finder<>Yamar&&log:finder<>ClayJar' -d count

searches for all caches that have been found by Yamar or ClayJar:

 geoqo -s 'log:finder=Yamar||log:finder=ClayJar' -d count

but not found by BlueNinja:

 geoqo -s '(log:finder=Yamar||log:finder=ClayJar)&&log:finder<>BlueNinja' -d count
