RenoHuskerDu Posted February 1, 2020 Author Share Posted February 1, 2020 Tried finding you on the Bullnose map but apparently I'm in the fail army. Turns out you can search the map page for people. I've added this text to the page: There are couple of features of the map that aren't intuitively obvious. On the left in the top bar is a button that lets you display the names of the members, and then you can click on a name and be taken directly to that person's general area. Or, having clicked on that button you can search for a member. To do that hit Control & F at the same time to bring up the search function and then type in the member's name you are looking for and hit Enter. Does that make sense? Nice. The key is to first open the list of members, then try the ctl/f search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Lewis Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Nice. The key is to first open the list of members, then try the ctl/f search. Yep. Did you try it? Did it work? Does it make sense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RenoHuskerDu Posted February 1, 2020 Author Share Posted February 1, 2020 Yep. Did you try it? Did it work? Does it make sense? Yes, I tried it. You have to be aware of what we called "pointer focus" when I was a software PM. Where the pointer is on the screen affects what happens. After the ctl/f I found that I have to move the pointer down into the list of members, for the Find to work there too. But yes, it works. It may have all along but I didn't try moving the pointer down there the first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've done some playing with it and have revised the wording, so would you check it out and see what you think? Does that approach change your experience? Does the pointer still need to be pointed at the members? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the pointer still need to be pointed at the members? It speaks Spanish now, see image. No hay problema para mi. And it finds names without moving the pointer there. There is a delay, which is probably why I thought I needed to move the pointer there. I'm impatient. Just ask my wife. My browser is Dissenter, which is a recent fork off Brave, which itself is a variant of Chrome. Brave strips out the spyware in Chrome, and Dissenter strips out more bloatware then adds commenting capability on any website in the world. Websites ID it as Chrome.

Don't see any Spanish in the image. Dissenter? Just downloaded it and will give it a try. I use Chrome because it allows me to force the result to be verbatim. Was in the Microsoft store buying this tablet and the tech suggested I use Edge. I asked him if I could force it to give me only what I typed in and he said no browser does. I showed him that Chrome does. So, can I do that on Dissenter? If so, and if it doesn't use as many resources as Chrome I might switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've set Google as my search engine and I can now force it to verbatim. I'll have a play with Dissenter, but it seems faster than Chrome at first blush.

But I can tell you that Dissenter uses about 60% of the RAM that Brave does, and Brave is already de-fattened from Chrome. If your fave feature was in Chrome when Brave forked off the most recent branch a year or so ago, then it's probably in Dissenter. Dissenter forked off from Brave less than a year ago.

Gary Lewis Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 I'm giving Dissenter a try. We shall see. But I had to tell it to use Google for searches as that is certainly my favorite since it lets me get verbatim results and not results with just a portion of what I asked for.

The best one I've found is Yandex. But it delivers some multilingual hits so more to wade thru. DuckDuckGo is my daily driver.
