    Only the Websearch tab in Firestorm now displays the new GUI for websearch.  It does work, the same as using your Browser.  If you don't enter a keyword, and want all results, just enter an asterick * and it will find everything like before.

    The old Websearch would search by using Enter in the blank search box,  Now you must enter * plus Enter or click on the Search Icon.

    All the other Firestorm Search tabs are unchanged, and work as V1.2 as always.

    One good change when searching for Events, that is not in the old style Events tab in Firestorm:  

    For a club that lists all the sets for that day in one event notice, and lists the event duration to cover all events, 12 hr for instance, the time the event was entered will be in Time order.  So if you Enter the club's events at 1am, for events that run from 2pm to 10pm, the event will show near the top with 1am events, and stay as the top listing even if you ask for events after 8pm.  They also have priority over single events in the listing.  Managers need to list the day's sets early, and set duration to 24 hrs, if it is a 24/7 club.  Your events will be at the top of the list, irregardless of the actual time of day, OR what time you specify to starting looking for an event.

    This is not easy to explain if you are not running a club, so TL/DR if I confused you.  :)

    The rest of the interface is hard to use, too much scrolling, wasted space, and hidden information under two layers (like event duration.)  I'll keep using Firestorm search for the six categories of search if I want an overall compact listing that doesn't hide everything and force me to scroll and page for minutes. 

    One of my shops is on page 1 listing #3 (21 listings/page) in the new UI menu, only because I did not use the plural of what I am selling.  It I add the 's' to the keyword, I am not there.  The Title is obviously more important than keywords.  But if I add the plural form to the title, I am lost about 2 pages down, around # 40, after scrolling 8 times.  If I search and use * in place of the plural s, I get listed at #16.  Fortunately I don't need SL search for my store items - independent off grid search engines are much more efficient.

     

    The search got worse some of the places I been that still exist  dont show up in the new search anymore. The whole upgrade is been a bad move its broken not only the UI but the search as well.

    Its very basic but very clean and modern, yes.

    The actual search page at least.

    The moment you click on search....yeah, I can see Geocities. The cluttered mess is still there especially where the classifieds are....whew. I wouldn't mind it if the bright blue classified section wasn't so in my face. Just give that search page a ridiculous loud background and youve got a geocities page.

    Also, there is this: In the attached image, the letters were out of the element box. Little things like that matter to me.

    Grade: B- For effort.

    The sites grade for me is  the lowest possible F it looks so bad its an eye sore in every way.

  3. Beta grid? new to sl never heard of it. I edited my items in gimp using the templetes for placement  but was trying to see about final placement before uploading the texture to SL and dropping it in an omega applier. I assume this beta grid is usable trough the same viewer I use. Does it have access to the Belleza mesh's? Thats what I currently make it for.

  4. I have made five tattoos using the omega kit and want t try making clothing for the Belleza body if I applied for a kit being new to making things would they give me a dev kit if I applied for one? So I can use one of the offline apps like blender to do testing before uploading them to SL.
