Wallace Wirefly Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 Since Firestorm has switched to LL search I noticed that when one types in search bar one gets a constant BLUE drop down box.This blue box a supposedly helpful tips is a nuisance. Can LL please have a setting menu that allows one to turn off this box?? If one does not know how to do a search have a button that opens a window so one can read to understand how to write in search NOT a blue drop down that blocks the first item in search! Hopefully someone in LL will read and pass along.Thanks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleMe Jewell Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 Make the results window bigger and you'll be able to see that first item. Yes, it is just a work-around, but it will at least help you for now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least Alchemy hasn't done that (yet) and I hope they won't be compelled to do so. It is ruining the economy. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, they still have the Legacy search. They've always had LL's web search, but the latest rollout shows the help box by default and you have to click somewhere to get rid of it or enlarge the window so that it doesn't obscure the results. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallace Wirefly Posted April 13, 2022 Author Share Posted April 13, 2022 I can not seem to find this legacy search. Reading the link doesn't really tell much. I assume that the search screen one uses now is the newest features that we now have since last update. I still think the drop down is useless item that needs to be done away with. 👍😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleMe Jewell Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Pull up the search window. Anything other than the Websearch tab is Legacy: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowan Amore Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 The only thing I ever use the Websearch tab for is to access the Destination Guide. Everything else, I use the legacy search tabs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lindal Kidd Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Whew. I thought I was the only person who found that drop down notice supremely ill-placed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaylinbridges Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 (edited) The dropdown suggests using multiword phrases "clothing store" to narrow the search down. Quotes usually mean search for the exact search string, in any normal search engine I have used. But strings seem to be interpreted as: worda AND/OR wordb AND/OR wordc in any order, in the SL search. So don't use a common word or you just get everything: Of course it didn't find this forum, which is not inworld. Turns out there are very few forums in SL.

Jaylinbridges Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Google Search gets it right, actually only lists the quoted string hit: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
