+Burton Kidz Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 I don't suppose there is a way of searching for "Church Micro"s in any area, or searching for anything else in the cache name, for that matter. One way to do it would be to find all caches with a pocket query and then sort it by cache name - but is there a way of sorting a pocket query by name? Quote Link to comment

Although it wouldn't find all of them a lot of church/graveyard ones are called "Restin' In _____". If you have the geocaching app you can filter them by name using that or put Restin In site:www.geocaching.com/bookmarks into a Google search and that will allow you to bring up bookmark lists people have made. I understand you can also use GSAK somehow to search titles but I'm not familiar with that program. Quote Link to comment
+Bear and Ragged Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 (edited) Church Micros - UK series of caches. Take a look at the cache page of one, there is usually a Bookmark of caches in the series... Or. Go here linky Lists, and scroll down to Bookmark Lists for a lot of links to Bookmarks. Or. Go and have a read here linky for more info and stats! Church Micro home page Edited July 27, 2013 by Bear and Ragged Quote Link to comment
+Burton Kidz Posted July 29, 2013 Author Share Posted July 29, 2013 All I wanted to do really was to search for Church Micros in my area, but the database doesn't seem to support that level of sophisticated searching Quote Link to comment
+howarthe Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Try typing this into a Google search: site:geocaching.com intitle:church intitle:"In Eastern England, United Kingdom" intitle:traditional Quote Link to comment
+Burton Kidz Posted July 29, 2013 Author Share Posted July 29, 2013 Looks like one of the best ways of searching, thanks Quote Link to comment

Has been asked for many times, it might be on a developers list of 'things to do' but doesn't seem to be a priority. Quote Link to comment
+Pink Paisley Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Just because it's a church, it doesn't HAVE to be yet another micro / film cannister. PP. Quote Link to comment
+little-leggs Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Ive just found the joy of Pocket Queries , and Have also asked the question could an ATTRIBUTE be added , so when searching you could check the CM attribute and only get CM's which will be in DISTANCE order and not in a list as others have suggested .. lists are what they are just lists a PQ you can view on a map etc please concider adding a attribute I know . each CM owner will need to add the attribute to all their caches for it to work ? and any new CM's it could be added in the advice given ,, and anyone who is into CM's Im sure this wont be a problem Quote Link to comment
+T.D.M.22 Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Then they would need to add a attribute for every series. Anyway can't you make a PW from a bookmark list? Quote Link to comment
+Graculus Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 This is the bookmark list for the CM series. It does show the distance and direction from your home coords - OK not that good as you have to scroll through them all, but you can create a PQ from the bookmark list.

Has been asked for many times, it might be on a developers list of 'things to do' but doesn't seem to be a priority. The Find a Cache page shows a slot for your zip code. Seems like that would get you pretty close. Plus when I click Search from Map at the bottom my house is in the center Edited April 6, 2014 by Walts Hunting Quote Link to comment
+Bear and Ragged Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 http://www.geocaching.com/seek/nearest.aspx Search by Keyword Church Micro 5,000+ caches, it's 4 pages before it gets close to home! Quote Link to comment
+flamingo chaser Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 The app provides a search facility for " church micros" in an " area" . I don't seem to be able to do this search on the main website? Any advice? Quote Link to comment
