Highlands_guy Posted September 18, 2017 Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 I'm doing a live search of a location that has lots of caches. I've reset my search filters, entered a start and end date in 2008 (28 days apart), select done and it comes back as no caches found. My example is GC1AFYG placed March 23, 2008. I see the cache without filters (live search), but when I set start on March 2, 2008 and end of March 29, 2008, the result is no caches found. I changed my search filter to a different year (keeping it at March 2-29), 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013 all gave results, but any year I tried from 2012 and earlier did not. What an I doing wrong? I can post screen shots as needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team DEMP Posted September 18, 2017 Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 Looking at that cache, though it shows hidden on 3/28/2008, the logs show it was enabled on 7/23/2008. Regardless, if I set the start/end date to with March 2008 or July 2008, it doesn't show up. Nic will need to respond unless someone else can figure this one out.

Highlands_guy Posted September 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 Thanks. It seems that any search I do will only return results if the published date was after Feb 12/2013. If I do a Cachly search with a Start date of Jan 17, 2013 and an End date of Feb 13, 2013, the only results I get are from caches published on Feb 13, 2013. If I make the end date Feb 12, 2012, I get no results from any location I search. There seems to be a cut-off of Feb 13, 2013 Also, not sure how hidden date and published date comes into play here. It seams that PQ's use the Hidden date and Cachly uses the Published date. When working on the Jasmer challenge, I believe that uses the hidden date. 2 Examples below: PQ: This cache came up in a PQ seach of March 1 to March 31 of 2016. It was placed March 31, 2016 and Published June 23/16: https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC6EJ78_if-trees-could-talk-3 Cachly: A Cachly search of Jan 17, 2013 to an end date of Feb 13, 2013 shows this cache that was placed Dec 30, 2012 and published on Feb 13, 2013: https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC43HM7_trains-planes-and-automobiles-automobiles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Hubbard Posted October 13, 2017 Report Share Posted October 13, 2017 @Highlands_guy Can you let me know what your center point was for the search you did with the date range? If you have the coordinates that would be great. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highlands_guy Posted October 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 it doesn't seem to mater where I do my search from, but here's my home coordinates, 48° 29.764'N 123° 27.848'W I just did a live search from here and set the search dates from Jan 16, 2013 to Feb 14, 2013 and only one cache was returned. GC45WXG hidden Feb 12/13 and published Feb 14/13. It didn't show GC47FVF published on Feb 12, 2013 only 5 miles from my house (or any of these others, all within date range an all within about 7-miles: GC473T6, GC472R7, GC46Z96, GC46R84, GC46K7G, GC43AN7 ).

Let me know if I misunderstood something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highlands_guy Posted October 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 Basically no search of any dates before Feb 2013 shows any results. Here are some examples: Search dates June 2, 2008 to June 30, 2008 from N48 27.058 W123 22.461 shows no results. A PQ shows GC1DJBM published June 29, 2008 located 3.9 km from my location. Search dates July 1, 2010 to July 28, 2010 from N48 27.058 W123 22.461 shows no results. A PQ shows GC28QMN published on July 22, 2010 located 8 KM from my location. Search dates May 1, 2009 to May 29, 2009 from N48 27.058 W123 22.461 shows no results. A PQ shows GC1RC3F published May 16, 2009 located 9.9 km from my location and GC1Q4D0 published May 1, 2009 located 6 km from my location. Search dates March 1, 2011 to March 29, 2011 from N48 27.058 W123 22.461 shows no results. A PQ shows GC2QDGQ published March 11, 2011 located 1.8 km from my location.

rragan Posted November 16, 2017 Report Share Posted November 16, 2017 I must have fumble fingered something as it works like you say and 2 is the right number. Glad it's fixed. Nic Hubbard 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
