I loved the Goatleg search, when it was not attached to BL.

I go to goatleg.com, pick "legs Assembly" and it takes me to BL with a frame
at the top where I can choose the colors to search. There is no box to type
"other descriptions" to help narrow the field (it used to, and it does for torsos).

This is what I get when I searched Black Hips and Black Legs. One item and it
has blue hips.

The old goatleg was soooooo much better!!!! I don't know what happened with
the integration with BL, but it is not the same. It was originally made by 62bircks.

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? Because there are a TON of legs Black/Black.

I blame BL. To 62bricks, I thank you for helping me with your program. I really
loved the way it worked when it was stand alone.

Hi - Goatleg is not attached or affiliated with BL at all.

I'm not sure why the results for this are not right. But I'll look into
it!

Got it - The results are not actually wrong, it's just a matter of how the
parts are named. The search looks for the hips by color code, and looks for the
legs by the title. So the search is only going to bring up leg assemblies that
have hips in black and that contain "black legs" in the item name.

As it happens, this is the only assembly in the catalog that meets both those
terms. If you look at the result, that assembly does indeed come with black hips
(as well as blue ones, which is the version in the main photo).

I'll look into adding a keyword search back into the leg assembly search,
but in this case it would not have changed the results.

Thank you. I really appreciate your help with this. I'm also glad to hear
that it's not tied to BL.

You can roll your own search interface in about 2 hours. Make it do whatever
you want.
