29,
Already able to do this outside the Registry by clicking on the "Advanced Search" button at the top right of the screen, type in the location in the Keyword(s) Field you wish to search, also click into the "Vehicle Registry" check box then click on the search button at the bottom and voilà, there you'll have all the Packards in that particular area. Trust that was not as clear as mud? ![]()

That's actually very clear, so I tried it, and it doesn't work. Did what you said, typed in the keyword of Louisiana and it only showed a few cars, none of which were in Louisiana - not even my own car popped up!

Try typing in the postal code instead of state name, e.g. MO instead of Missouri

As I recall, the search engine does not allow searches on fewer than three characters.

You can, but it will bring up every listing with a word that contains the characters anywhere. I've found that e.g. for Texas, writing Quote:
, TX It's passable but not ideal. Partly because there's no standardization on the Location tags anyway.

Mal, the search works exact in the way you described it. I searched Louisiana and found two cars, I searched San Antonio and found five.
The search seems to be limited to the free text fields (such as "VEHICLE HISTORY/PROJECT STATUS") and doesn't look into "owned location".

Search results depend on what Forum members include in the details they post in the Registry. If it ain't there or if it differs in spelling = no result!

This is exactly what I'm getting. And neither of those cars was mine, and I know of one other fellow who's down here too, and his car doesn't show up either. You can search Louisiana, LA, zip code, doesn't matter - currently owned location doesn't seem to show up, just info on the cars past locations.

When I get back from Florida, I'll take a look at what can be done.
The biggest issue is how people have added info. Illinois vs IL vs ILL, etc. If they even have entered that as no explicit State/City fields exist. Just a general "where" field. So some could have entered Chicago, or Chicagoland, or Northern Illinois, or Midwest. Etc. Many times people don't exactly know where it came from. So just a general area. Or they could have left the field blank. While I can add those, it doesn't retroactively add that info to the existing entries. So it would only be a go-forward item. The registry is a lot different than the dealer list, as a dealer had an actual address. The Owner Registry is not geographically specific. It's more about the car info as opposed to where the car has been.
