Search across the entire UKC database for Routes or Crags.
Your query will be matched against the following:
granite
, gritstorne
, sandstone
etctrad
, sport
, winter
etcHVS
, V3
, IV
etc
E.g. Froggatt HVS-E1 ** Grit
Surround multiple words with double quotes to require a match on that phrase, eg "bat route" malham
Asterisks get special treatment in search queries. A sequence of them is considered to be a star rating for a route, so
*
is
treated as 1-star, **
treated as 2-stars and ***
treated as 3-stars. Typing just one sequence
creates a
search where the route is required to have at least that many stars, eg bat route **
will only return routes with
2
or more stars that also match the other search criteria bat
and route
.
Adding a dash and a second star sequence will create a range, eg *-**
means "match routes with at least one and
at
most two stars".
As above with stars, but with grades. Eg vs-e1
will match routes with a grade of either VS
,
HVS
or E1
.
Date ranges will check against the first-ascent date field and require the route to have been put up between the start date and
the end date (inclusive). Eg 1970-1974
will match routes put up between 01-01-1970
and
31-12-1974
. You should note that not all routes have had the first ascent date filled in, and these routes will
be
excluded from any search that includes date ranges, so you might not get the results you expect.
We've calculated a value based on the grade voting system that assigns a route a value from one of:
soft
benchmark
hard
|soft|
. If you don't wrap
the text in pipes, you'll just be searching the other text fields, so soft
, with no pipes, would get you a match if
the text appeared in the description for example and |soft|
will only match against routes that have been
marked as soft, and not check the other fields for the text.
A continuation of this system which uses the same syntax allows you to search for routes that are voted to be a completely
different grade using the following criteria:
eg |overgraded|
. Note that this is based on votes, so if there are no votes for a route and you include one of these
criteria it
won't appear, regardless of whether it is in reality over or undergraded. Note also that whilst you can combine these with
soft/benchmark/hard, some combinations make no sense.
Regular expressions, for those that don't know, are a way of describing patterns in strings. They are a very powerful tool for
searching and manipulating text, and completely unnecessary in this route search bar. However, if you do want to use them,
they are possible by surrounding the expression with forward slashes, eg /chris (?!craggs)/
will match any routes
that mention 'chris'
but not those that mention 'chris craggs'
. Or e2-e3
/crap|damp|horrible/
will return you a list of probably not classic routes.
Note that pure-regex queries are not allowed due to the cost of the queries against the database. You should always add any of
the other query types mentioned above if you're using a regex.
Finally, if you precede any text with a minus character you will negate it and require that it is not matched, eg -"mark
leach" bat malham
.
