Search shenanigans

A vast improvement in the usability of Events search has been unveiled by Sea Linden, in this blog post. Events can now be browsed once more, there's some nonsense added, there are now featured events, I have no idea why Linden Lab are featuring certain events, I really don't see why they think this is a good idea, unless they're looking to charge for a featured event listing at some point.

However, being able to browse events once more is a positive step forward, it's long overdue and should never have been like this in the first place, but progress has been made, so three cheers, hip hip hooray, hip hip ....oh wait!

Hold those cheers because the maturity ratings bug, doesn't get a mention in this blog post, you know, that annoying bug where your parcel may or may not be found at a certain time of the day depending upon which maturity ratings are ticked, the one that shows parcels on page one in places but doesn't list them at all in search all, so now we get to boo ...but wait!

Yes, another reason to be cheerful, the mixing of the web blurb with inworld resuts, as reported on Jira WEB-2378, is being addressed. This bug makes searching for terms such as "Land Security", "Commercial Land", "Furry Avatars" and "Maps" pretty useless as these terms appear in the blurb of all listings due to system requirements and World Map being blurb from the website, which then corrupts the results, so three cheers....oh wait...you get the drill.

Yes, hold your horses because someone at Linden Lab has decided that search closing on teleport is a good idea, therefore if the location you have just visited doesn't contain what you're looking for, you have to start all over again. WEB-1819, did seem to have been successful at one stage, search wasn't closing on teleport, however it seems some folks didn't like that, so a patch was developed which would minimise search on teleport, when you went back to search, you'd be at the last page you searched, however, it seems someone at Linden Lab thinks this is not a good idea, I'd love to know why because it's quite frankly absurd that you have to keep starting search all over again, who on earth thinks resetting search everytime you teleport is a good idea? What possible use case can there be for someone thinking this is a good idea?
