Following many requests from our users, we’ve now implemented the viewer’s in-world search tabs. Click Ctrl+F to open the Search window, and then click on the tab that you want to search.<\/p>\n

\"Search<\/a><\/p>\n

People<\/strong><\/p>\n

This tab lets you search for avatars.<\/p>\n

Groups<\/strong><\/p>\n

This tab lets you search for OpenSim groups.<\/p>\n

Places<\/strong><\/p>\n

This tab lets you search for parcels. Only parcels that have enabled the “Show Place in Search” checkbox can be found (see details at the end of this post).<\/p>\n

Events<\/strong><\/p>\n

This tab lets you search for Events. These are the events\u00a0from our events system<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you’ve created an event then we highly recommend that you specify the event’s location, as described in\u00a0How to Add Events<\/a>. Now that people can search for events in the viewer, they will want to click “Teleport” to go to the location of the event — but that’s only possible if the event creator has entered a valid location for the event.<\/p>\n

Classifieds<\/strong><\/p>\n

This tab lets you search for Classified Ads.<\/p>\n

We’ve implemented a complete Classifieds system, so you can now buy Classified Ads (using Kitely Credits). Each Classified Ad runs for one week, and you can choose to have it be renewed automatically.<\/p>\n

The minimum price of a Classified Ad is 50 KC (per week). In Search, the Classified Ads are\u00a0sorted by the price that the classified’s creator chose to pay for the ad: from highest price to lowest price.<\/p>\n

A few people had created classifieds\u00a0in the past.\u00a0Those ads have been deleted, because we didn’t charge people for classifieds until now, and we don’t want to start charging people unexpectedly.<\/p>\n

Web Search<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is the only tab that worked\u00a0even before\u00a0today’s update, and it hasn’t changed. It still lets you search for People or Places.<\/p>\n

Note that in\u00a0the “Web Search” tab, searching for places searches for Worlds<\/strong>. In contrast, searching in the “Places” tab searches for\u00a0Parcels<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Add Your Parcels to Search<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you have a parcel that you’d like people to visit then we highly recommend that you make it visible in Search:<\/p>\n
