Is there something I can use to search through regions? The problem I have is the list is some 600 pages long, and the search box at this site only finds the region if you type in the exact name of it. I want to be able to type in a word and find all the regoin names that contain that word. EX: if I type in "cat" i want to find any region with cat in it, and not just the regoin called specifically "cat"... know what I mean?


thanx much :D

The regions are listed alphabetically, so if you find the page "C", you will see all the 'Cat' regions in order. This takes a little while, but it's the best that I can think of.
Perhaps we could get them to modify the search to find keywords as well?

Thanks alot! This helps me some, but what if the the theoretical region is called "the utopia of cats" or "super cats" or "0000cats" or something along those lines? Now I have to look under "S" , "T" and all the numbers. So the possibility for 'cat' regions to be under any letter of the alphabet doesn't narrow the search down at all.

I agree with you that a keyword search is definately needed.

Needed, but not available. An exact match search is alot easier to code then a keyword match search. A better way would be to post on the NS forum (or maybe general) asking for any regions about whatever it is you're looking for. That way you are guarenteed to find an active one, too. ;)

If you're asking about regions to join, post in the NationStates forum, not General. :)

I'm not so much here to join a region, as I am to find out what ways i can search for them on the site... the whole "cat" thing was just an example I used.

Thanks much :D

There should be a box saying exact region and not exact(but simalar)

I think that it would be beneficial to everyone on NationStates if we changed the region searching a little bit. I think it should detect regions with any of the words typed in other than common ones such as: the, and, or etc. Then it would be easier for new nations to ifind the region they wanted to move to. Maybe they want a region that supports communits, or one that is more capitalist. If they could type in things that related to that and find regions with the word "capitalist" or something in it, that would help alot. Right now all we can do is find a region we already know exists.
