Filters

General Information
Many and top lists on Project-GC can have different filters applied to get different information. On some of them only a subsection of the filters can be used and some tools or top lists have filters that are only available for that specific tool or list.
Profile name
This filter highlights the user in a top list, clicking the button with a blue silhouette and a pencil will fill the box with the user name of the authenticated user. For the tools that can be used to compare something between two or more users, this filter has an extra box labelled Compare with for inputting other users who are to be compared. Users with a paid membership can use the button with a table on it to turn on multi compare.
Location-based Filters
Cache location
This filter allows a user to only show caches from certain areas, usually with country, region and county options. It is available in most top lists and tools.
Center/Radius (km)
This filter is an alternative to cache location which allows an input for an address or coordinates, and the radius from that place. All the caches in the result will be from this area. It is available in many top lists.
Only people from
This filter appears in top lists, and allows the user to only search for users that have had their home location calculated to be in a certain country or region.
Cache-stat Filters
Cache name
This filter allows users with a paid membership to find caches that begin with, contain, or end with any inputted string, for example if you wanted all the caches that begin with 'Church Micro'. It is case-sensitive, and is available in most top lists and Map Compare. Filter is a feature for users with a paid membership.
Cache type / size
This filter allows the user to filter the cache results to show only those that are of a singular or list of types and/or sizes.
Difficulty / Terrain
This filter allows the user to filter the cache results to show only those that have specific or a range of difficulty and/or terrain ratings.
D/T type / size
This is a special filter for the D/T Matrix tool, that allows the user to filter caches filling their grid with specific types or sizes. It differs from the normal Difficulty / Terrain and Cache type / size filter since it searches for the missing D/T combinations with the filter, whereas the normal ones just filter the output.
Attribute required
This filter appears only on the Needed found dates tool, and allows the user to filter their found calendar to only include caches that have a selected positive attribute.
Negative attribute required
This filter appears on the Needed found dates tool, and allows the user to filter their found calendar to only include caches that have a selected negative attribute.
Log-based & Ownership Filters
From
This is only available on the Map not found caches tool, and allows the user to filter caches which have not been found from the inputted date. For example, entering 2018-01-01 would return all caches without a find from Jan 1 2018 to the search date, regardless of any finds before that date.
From/To Hidden date
This filter allows a user to include caches only with a hidden date within a certain time frame. One or both of the fields 'from' and 'to' dates can be used.
From/To Log date
This filter allows a user to only include caches that they have posted a found log on within a certain time frame. One or both of the fields 'from' and 'to' dates can be used.
Hide Disabled / Archived / Premium
This filter allows a user to hide caches that are Disabled, Archived or Premium from the result. It is available in the top lists under Cache stats. Checking the box for "found" will hide all the found caches for the user chosen in Profile name from the top list and so on.
Hide Found / Owned / Not found
This filter allows a user to hide caches they have found, caches that they own or caches they have not found. It is available in the top lists under Cache stats. Checking the box for "found" will hide all the found caches for the user chosen in Profile name from the top list.
None/One/Both/Owned found
This is a filter for the Map Compare tool that allows the user to show the caches that none, one of or both of the compared profiles have found. It also allows you to mark the user's owned caches as found.
Show Disabled / Archived
This filter allows a user to show caches that are Disabled or Archived in the result. It is available for map based tools.
Include Archived
This filter allows a user to include archived caches in the Geocaches per area-list.
List Filters
Bookmark list
This filter allows some tools and top lists to only include caches in the result, that are in a specific bookmark list. To find a bookmark list, select the owner of the bookmark list, then select the desired list from the result.
Ignore Bookmark list
This filter allows some tools and top lists to exclude certain caches from the result, that are in a specific bookmark list. To find a bookmark list, select the owner of the bookmark list, then select the desired list from the result. The filter is generally a feature for users with a paid membership.
Virtual GPS
This filter allows some tools and top list to only include caches in the result, that appear in a selected Virtual GPS list. The filter, as the Virtual GPS, is only available for users with a paid membership.
Other
Custom filter
See Custom filters.
Exclude
This filter, on the Map of challenge caches, allows the user to exclude any or none of the disabled, archived, premium, fulfilled or not fulfilled caches from the result. Whether you fulfill a challenge is decided either if a user runs a checker, or by the Auto-challenge-checkers that run for paid members.
Exclude traveling
This is a filter on the Map NESW tool, which allows the user to remove the bookmark list [BMAFMJR|https://www.geocaching.com/plan/lists/BMAFMJR], which is a list of various traveling, antipode and locationless caches that would cause the results to become inaccurate.
Loop
See Loop.
Max number of geocaches
This filter allows some top lists based on hides to limit the number of caches used per owner. For instance, in the Logs Received top list, if you set max number of geocaches to 2, only the top 2 most logged caches from each owner will count to the total.
Route
This filter allows some tools to only output caches within a certain distance from a specified linear route, as specified in the Route Builder tool. This filter is a feature for users with paid membership.
Show
This is a filter available on the map of challenge caches tool, and it allows the user to view only the challenge caches that have, or do not have, a Project-GC Challenge checker available. If the 'show all' option is ticked, then the filter can be toggled on and off while viewing the map.
