    Bird watching/Bird sanctuary

    Did a search for Bird watching and or Bird sanctuary group. Did not see one.

    Is there a group and my search did not show it? I got Great Florida Birding Trail  and a group Birding/Birdwatching, but it was created  in 12/2007 with no category managed.

    If  not is there  any way to (either) get the group located http://www.waymarking.com/groups/details.aspx?f=1&guid=01433fb4-d132-4a5e-94c5-006b3271b759  to get it rolling?

    Re: Bird watching/Bird sanctuary

    When I search for birdwatching, Birdwatching Locations is the first result. When I search for birding, Birdwatching Location is the second result. When I search for aviaries, Birdwatching Location is the only result.

    I've replaced keyword "chasing" with "sanctuary" since scrambler390 searched for "bird sanctuary". I do not have enough keywords to accomodate both "birdwatching" and "bird watching".

    Current keywords:

    birds aviary birdwatching birding twitching preservation habitat nature sanctuary ornithology

    Birdwatching Locations Quick Description:

    Are you a fan of birdwatching or birding? In the wild or in Aviaries, this category spotlights the best places to spy fabulous feathered friends in flight!

    The bold-faced text was added to emphasise immediately that waymarks of aviaries already have a home.

    Since "birdwatching" is in the category name, I don't believe you need to have it as a keyword.  Your category comes up if I search for "locations".

    ETA: In fact, I believe it searches all text fields.  Your category also comes up on a search for "ethics".

    Good to know. I've just replaced keyword "birdwatching" with "watching". I never phrase "birdwatching" as "bird watching" so I hope this will resolve that oversight. While Grammar fanatics will be annoyed, it could actually benefit a category to be inconsistent throughout the text with certain terms to make the category appear is more searches. I can't bring myself to do it but it's something to consider.

    Re: Bird watching/Bird sanctuary

    an alternative is to have a section on the description that is filled with nothing but 'crap' words that relate to the category, and thus make it appear in searches.

    but any way we could only display that on the 'show more details' o the main cat page?

    I found it by searching "bird".
