Search function

The search menu provides several search funcions as described below. All location and user based searches will provide a list of caches as result, whereas the geocode search and the trackable search will directly open the resulting geocache details or trackable details.



Basically all search functions will use all enabled geocaching platforms simultaneously and provide the result in a combined list across all geocaching services. This depends on the functions supported by the specific geocaching service as listed in the service setting menu.
