Add Object Area Search to official viewer

Please add an area search feature to the official viewer, like the one that is in Firestorm. For those of us that prefer to use the standard viewer for day to day use. Attached is an example of the Firestorm area search interface.

I would like to add if this was added for people that would like their object hidden from search to have some sort of keyword that the search would block on. This is critical to people who run hunts and other find and seek type events. If its something like #hunt in description it would be blocked from showing up in area search.

Crexon Resident while I agree this would be good to do, unless all third-party viewers agreed to support it, or were forced to by LL, I have a feeling there would always be ones that would ignore the special “hidden” tags. But I guess that’s no different than other current viewers that have malicious intent, hopefully that’s in the tiny minority.

Crexon Resident that would allow griefers to rez objects that others can't find, so I think it's a terrible idea, unless it is, for example, limited to objects owned by the landowner.

Jennifer Boyle well yea it could be tied to land permissions to where if you have rez rights you would see all as a simple way to satisfy both, since both are problems that need solutions.

Thank you Daisy Minuet for suggesting this in another related post. I didn't see a post to request it, so here it is!

Derek Galaxy Thank you, I don't navigate well on these 'feedback' suggestions - I didn't realize 'Area Search' was on FireStorm Viewer only, it seems... so, yeah why not Area Search for all? It's a VERY useful feature! Thanks again for reposting this!

Daisy Minuet you are welcome 😊

Hello, and thank you for your feature request regarding adding an Object Area Search to the official Second Life viewer. This idea has been brought up in the past and is currently tracked. We understand the convenience and utility that such a feature, similar to the one in Firestorm, would bring to users who prefer the standard viewer. While we have no estimate on when this might be implemented, please keep an eye on future updates. We appreciate your input and hope you continue to share your ideas to help improve Second Life. Thank you!
