Search, places and landmarks¶
Search¶
Open Search with World → Search… or Ctrl+F. It has a tab for each kind of thing:
| Tab | What you can find |
|---|---|
| People | Residents by name. |
| Groups | Groups to join. |
| Places | Places by name or keyword. |
| Land | Land for sale, with Price < and Area > limits, a category (Auction, Mainland Sales, Estate Sales) and sorting by name, price, price per metre or area. |
| Events | Events that are Ongoing and Upcoming or on a chosen date, by category (Live Music, Nightlife/Entertainment, Games/Contests and so on). |
| Classifieds | Paid adverts. |
| AltaVista | Second Life's web search page, with back, forward and reload buttons. |
On the Places, Land and Events tabs, the three tick boxes choose which content ratings to include (General, Moderate, Adult). You'll only see what your account and I want to access content rated (Preferences → General) allow.
Click a result to see its details next to the list, with buttons to teleport, show it on the map, IM, join and so on.
Places and landmarks¶
A landmark is a saved location in your inventory that you can teleport back to.
- World → Landmark This Place saves where you are as a landmark.
- Me → Places… (Alt+L) lists your landmarks:
- LANDMARKS: all your landmarks, in folders. Filter My Places finds one by name.
- FAVORITES: your favourite landmarks (also shown on the login screen if you turn that on in Preferences → General).
- VISITED: places you've been recently.
- Select a place and click Teleport or Map. The gear and + buttons add landmarks and folders, sort, and remove.
- World → Place profile shows details of the parcel you're on; World → About land has the full land settings (see Land, music and parcel media).
- World → Destinations… suggests popular places to visit.
