Default not even sure where to post this

I keep trying to use the advanced search for the gallery. I go to the select a category option and select a category and then hit search. it always brings me back to "home-all" what the heck am I doing wrong. I have only been a member here four years! you think I might know this by now. any suggestions?

You have to actually include a search term, I think. You can't browse a category that way.

Hey Lori! I moved this to our support forum. Emily is right - you need a search term in the box.

a search term, like a keyword? ok just for the heck of it, I put "crimped" in the keyword and picked the category "crimped envelope" (no I am not making that, I just grabbed a category!) and it pulls up everything with a bit of crimp on it, 229 pages and no envelopes that I saw. still no luck

Okay - I searched crimped and it worked fine - I just leave it on all categories - I suspect that when you choose a category, if it's not finding your search term there, it's returning you to home > all.

Yes

Just put your keyword in there and leave all the other info as it is for the broadest search possible.

Sorry - I'm on an airplane and the wifi is SO slow - takes me five minutes per page load.

I guess that is what I didn't want is a broad search, most times I have no time to search thru hundreds of pages. I thought I could scroll thru the catagories and pick one and it would pull up all in that category. oh I hate being confused!

You can - can you give me an example of what you're looking for and I can try?

I had nothing in particular. today is a rare day that I have time to look around. I have avoided using the search function on scs because all I ever come up with is the home-all and usually resort to pinterest. I just thought I could go to advanced search and scroll thru the categories and see one that looks interesting and click on it and it would bring it up. no?

No - like Emily said you'll need to put in a keyword to make that work - the best way to browse the categories is just from the main page of the gallery - Splitcoaststampers Galleries: Stamp-n-Storage, The Cat's Pajamas

On that page, click something like the "see more technique galleries" under the pop up diorama card and you'll see a giant list of those you can browse through. Same with the Anything but a card category - that has OODLES of subcategories you can browse through.
