Where is AREA SEARCH on SL Viewer?

[LadyD6959 Meistrich]

Where can I find AREA SEARCH on SL Viewer? I used to see it on Firestorm viewer under WORLD, but I can't find it on the SL Viewer.

It's not in the Official Viewer.

You ought to be able to use Build >>> Pathfinding >>> Linksets to get similar information, but Area Search itself is a Firestorm feature.

As already answered, it's not in the official viewer...but Firestorm is not your only option.  Other third party viewers, such as Singularity, also include Area Search.  I'm sure there are others so just do a search of third party viewers for SL and see what suits your fancy!

I'm not sure what tab it is under in Singularity but it is name VIEW in there instead of area search in the firestorm viewer

That is a Firestorm feature, not available on the Linden Lab viewer.  If you want something similar, use Build >>> Pathfinding >>> Linksets

I am on the latest Linden Lab viewer as of October 2022. I followed the instructions to attempt an Area Search at a busy event.  This box appeared but was not functioning ie nothing happened when I tried to use the various buttons. I see the thread has been inactive for almost 7 years. has anything changed? Area Search is one of the most useful tools to have

Area Search is still only available in Firestorm. Build > Pathfinding > Linksets can find objects, but only Pathfinding ones. In your example, there aren't any nearby. I got several hits in the places where I tried it, but I don't know what constitutes a "pathfinding" object/linkset. I know that I have not deliberately made any of the objects on my home parcel "pathfinding" and yet I see some of them with this command.

Area Search is also available in the Kokua viewer (which otherwise is very similar to the SL Viewer in terms of the general interface).
