PlanetsCentral

The Search function can locate objects according to a variety of queries.

Enter your query into the input field. Use the controls above to choose search options:

• Alt‐O: Select objects to search. Choose any combination of
  • Starships;
  • Planets;
  • Starbases (starbases are normally searched when Planets is checked, so use this option alone when you want to search starbases only);
  • Ufos (includes wormholes);
  • Others (ion storms and minefields);
• Alt‐T: Select type of search:
  • Name/Id/Comment: searches for a substring of the object's name, or its Id. Id numbers can be specified with an optional leading hash sign, as in #357. Search is case-insensitive;
  • Expression true: you enter a script expression. (see PCC2 Interpreter Documentation). The result contains all objects where the expression yields true (nonzero, nonempty);
  • Expression false: like Expression true, but returns all objects where the expression yields false (zero, empty);
  • Location: enter a coordinate pair (e.g. 1526,2039). The search returns all object located at or covering that point;
• Alt‐P: Toggle whether you want to find your own played units only.

After confirming your input using Enter or the "Search!" button, the result will be displayed in the list box below. You can select an object and press Enter to show its control screen or, if that is not available, show it in the starchart.
