A search bar more efficient?

[CastiglioneFrancis]

Hi.

I'm looking on ZoneGfx for:

"Design 7" (https://www.renderosity.com/marketplace/products/92975/design-7),
"Arrin i13 Design 8" (https://www.renderosity.com/marketplace/products/93628/arrin-i13-design-8),
"Design 12" (https://www.renderosity.com/marketplace/products/95189/design-12),

and I could find here "Design 14" (https://www.renderosity.com/marketplace/products/96559/design-14).

My problem is that I could find "Design 14" by chance without entering in the search bar "Design 14".

I just consulted 28 pages in vain for "Design 12", and I have 95 pages left for "Design 7" plus 103 pages for "Design 8".

My question is if there is a way to effectively filter my searches, and, since the contents I'm looking for were available on other sites before their links died, if anyone here has them.

At worst, I will post requests.

Thank you.

well.... I think you are a bit fucked on this.

Yes, the search isn't the best... but those assets were RELEASED back in... 2012? So you are kinda hoping the community has kept a 12 year old assets alive somewhere on a drive.

Marvelous Designer 12 and Genesis 8 aren't doing you any favors...

I find that if it exists as you typed/searched for it (Design 12) the results at the top are the "closest" to your search. So if it has "Design+12" together it will the first/first few results.

If it isn't at the forum, but there are similar results ie marvelous DESIGNer 12, those will be next.

Then all the stuff that has Design and/or 12 in it following.

Another tip would be go to your search engine of choice and type site + websiteurl SPACE 'what you are looking for"

in this case, it would look for
site:https://zonegfx.com/ Design 12

If it has a page on that site, you will get a direct link, otherwise, it will list pages that have those words.

Your best bet may be to spend the 500 and create a new request. There are some really old farts here (no offense @pooper ) who have been around for a while, and used Poser and its assets back when Noah was a seaman recruit...

best of luck

Redflag, thank you very much for your response and your kindness 😊

Offense? Nah...

Also, try looking by vendor names - the vendor name "Arryn" gave me Design 14: https://zonegfx.com/?s=arryn , and the vendor name biglovepose gave me this item: https://zonegfx.com/cozy-apartment-by-biglovepose/

A poke around on the usual haunts didn't turn up anything useful, unfortunately.

Odds are almost perfect that the other items never made it out to the High Seas, as it were.

Grouchy Old Fart, thank you for your help too 😊

I followed Redflag's advice and posted 3 requests without delay.
A kind soul just filled them 🤩

Thanks to you all again 😊

See... it took longer for us to Hunt other posting sites (etc) than it did to get that filled.

Congrats!

.. i normally use Google's site search for things like this.. and combined with operators (+, -, ..)..

gladson1976, thanks for the tip.

But as far as I'm concerned, I think that Google's search engine is less and less relevant lately and more and more dirigist, and I often have to use that of Yandex for example for greater efficiency.
