I know that I will have many more to add, but beginning a list will help Andy and his people to find a solution for all of us. Please feel free to add your locations to this list, as I know that I will have more, also.

I'll get thinking again. David --- Grieve not for that which you cannot do but rejoice in that which you can.

Some of them [eg Saint Just in Roseland] are listed twice under travel tips, doubtless because they were already there before I suggested them – at first I thought if a place was listed at all, I’d find it by using the search box at the top of a page. All are listed for Travel Tips. None are listed for destinations. I’m only putting places where I should hope to do a destination guide.

I don't know whether Andy/somebody has done something or whether there was a blip before but the places that were not on the site at all that I suggested today, unlike the last batch, have all come on for destination reports as well as travel tips. Thanks, if appropriate. However, here are some more that won't come up for destination reports: Gloucestershire Gloucester Berkeley Shropshire Ellesmere Worcestershire Worcester Cheers, David --- Grieve not for that which you cannot do but rejoice in that which you can.

The goal of the search field is to find content which you members have published. If we would list every city inside the globo data, no other search results would show up and it would just not make sense. For example: Belleville, Illinois is available on GLOBO. Publish a report, a travel tip or a picture on it, and it will come available automaticaly on the search field above. Hope this helps, Andy Reply    Reply with quote    Contact andreas   bear495 Joined: May 03 Points: 8634 Posts: 177 Posted: 2005-06-02 15:29:00    Thanks, Andy. That makes more sense. Some of these places may have one wonderful attribute, but are not large enough to have sufficient information to write a travel report of the standards that we are trying to set. We can all try to keep the information flowing, though. Thanks, Russ --- "Own only what you can carry with you; know language, know countries, know people. Let your memory be your travel bag."

I have done travel tips on both Tintagel and Hartland but neither shows up if I put them in the search box at the top. 2. Bigbury on Sea, Noss Mayo, Milton Combe and Brendon all do come up, although according to your message they shouldn't. I'm glad they do because I think I can do destination reports but nothing else on three of them. 3. Clovelly doesn't come up - correctly according to your message. I can't think of a valid travel tip there but it's not without interest for a destination report. I suppose it will just have to manage without one. Cheers, David --- Grieve not for that which you cannot do but rejoice in that which you can.

That is a very complex algorithm and I currently do not have the time to look into it. I have put it onto the todo list and as soon as there is a gap, I wll fix it. Best regards, andy Reply    Reply with quote    Contact andreas   davidx Premium account Joined: Dec 04 Points: 34719 Posts: 440 Posted: 2005-06-03 12:35:00    Thanks, Andy Don't bust a gut on it! There's plenty to be getting on with. Cheers, David --- Grieve not for that which you cannot do but rejoice in that which you can.
