What is the correct way to use the Collections search? I was looking for the kaleidoscope2012 collection, so I started putting in Kal... allowed the autocomplete to give me kaleidoscope2012 but it only returned two results, neither of which are the Kaleidoscope challenge? i.imgur.com/oFuEx.jpgI tried the regular search bar but it only gives me fics with the word "kaleidoscope" in them, not the collection and the Advanced Search doesn't have a space for searching collections. Help! (I mean, I found a link to that specific collection by checking the DW comm but surely it shouldn't be this hard to search?) |

That's weird, I never tried to use the collections search before, but it does work as you say. Autocomplete gave me four options
kaleidoscope_treats: Kaleidoscope Treats - which had no results [a href="http://archiveofourown.org/collections?utf8=%E2%9C%93&collection_filters[title]=kaleidoscope_treats%3A+Kaleidoscope+Treats&collection_filters[fandom]=&collection_filters[closed]=&collection_filters[moderated]=&commit=Filter"]http://archiveofourown.org/collections?utf8=%E2%9C%93&collection_filters[title]=kaleidoscope_treats%3A+Kaleidoscope+Treats&collection_filters[fandom]=&collection_filters[closed]=&collection_filters[moderated]=&commit=Filter[/a]
kaleidoscope2012: Kaleidoscope 201 - which got me Homestruck olympics, and High School Merlin [a href="http://archiveofourown.org/collections?utf8=%E2%9C%93&collection_filters[title]=kaleidoscope2012%3A+Kaleidoscope+2012&collection_filters[fandom]=&collection_filters[closed]=&collection_filters[moderated]=&commit=Filter"]http://archiveofourown.org/collections?utf8=%E2%9C%93&collection_filters[title]=kaleidoscope2012%3A+Kaleidoscope+2012&collection_filters[fandom]=&collection_filters[closed]=&collection_filters[moderated]=&commit=Filter[/a]
kaleidoscope2012_treats: Kaleidoscope Treats 2012 - which got the same two results as the last one - [a href="http://archiveofourown.org/collections?utf8=%E2%9C%93&collection_filters[title]=kaleidoscope2012_treats%3A+Kaleidoscope+Treats+2012&collection_filters[fandom]=&commit=Filter"]http://archiveofourown.org/collections?utf8=%E2%9C%93&collection_filters[title]=kaleidoscope2012_treats%3A+Kaleidoscope+Treats+2012&collection_filters[fandom]=&commit=Filter[/a]
kaleidoscope: Kaleidoscope Fanwork Exchange - which gets me Rarewomen, Rosemary Sutcliff, Homestuck Ladyfest, Parralels, Ante-up Losers, Holmstice Fanworks, DOINK Final Fantasy & Smutty Claus [a href="http://archiveofourown.org/collections?utf8=%E2%9C%93&collection_filters[title]=kaleidoscope%3A+Kaleidoscope+Fanwork+Exchange&collection_filters[fandom]=&commit=Filter"]http://archiveofourown.org/collections?utf8=%E2%9C%93&collection_filters[title]=kaleidoscope%3A+Kaleidoscope+Fanwork+Exchange&collection_filters[fandom]=&commit=Filter[/a]
Not a link to kaleidoscope anywhere in that lot.
Putting kaleidoscope 2012 into advanced search got me five fics, and when I opened the first one, i found the link to the collection. But overall it'd have been quicker to use google. Hopefully it'll work better when all the filters come back.
