Shoes and Eyeglasses

Sunday, December 9th, 2007

To complete my new outfit, I also need to find and buy a new pair of shoes and eyeglasses so again I hit search. I first searched for a pair of formal shoes though I easily found some shops but their shoes wasn’t really that good for the price they are offering. My search led me to SF Designs and there I found a very nice looking pair of shoes called SFD Tripper Lace Ups. It’s only 200L$ and it looks really nice. There were 3 sizes (small, medium and large) so to make sure that it fits my avatars appearance I tried the demo first and the medium size fits perfectly.

For the eyeglasses, I went to the shop that loaded fast, the ones I first went to took a lot of time to rez, and that was the primOptic shop. The eyeglasses are scripted but I don’t see myself using any of its many features.

I guess that will conclude my personal shopping for the moment and my tip to everyone, if there is a demo version of the item you wish to buy then don’t hesitate to try the demo first because it will save you linden dollars. It’s very disappointing to buy something then upon wearing it you’ll see that the item doesn’t look good on you! So always remember to try before you buy! ;)

Second Life Search

Thursday, December 6th, 2007

Remember my post titled Search Outside Second Life where you can use some query strings to perform in-world searches using Second Life’s newest search tool?

Today I added a form that will let you easily search Second Life. You will see the form at the sidebar and the result page will open a new window. The form is powered by Second Life’s Official Search Interface which means you can search for stuff in-world just like with the search query string without logging in.

It is so easy to use, just type the keywords you want to search then select one of the sub options and then hit the Search Second Life button. A new page will open showing the results of your search.

I hope that many will find the search form useful. Goodluck and happy searching!

Second Life

Update: It seems that LL has released a new release candidate viewer with the new search as part of the client. Downloading it to see if the web version is the same as the in-world version of the new Second Life search.

Second Life is currently developing a new search system for Second Life. I don’t know if it’s the same system but you can do searches for People, Places, Groups, Objects, Land and Classified Ads using your browser. Yup, you don’t need to login to search for stuff in-world just use the URL below:

http://secondlife.com/app/search/search?q=[insert your keyword here]

For example to search for an avatar or people type this in your browser’s address field:
http://secondlife.com/app/search/search?q=Rom Ireton

To search for a place, just type:
http://secondlife.com/app/search/search?q=3 Stars and a Sun

Or just use any keywords like Philippines:
http://secondlife.com/app/search/search?q=Philippines

I believe the system is still in BETA but I’ve been using it for quite a while now to search for almost anything without logging in into Second Life.
