Lou's "How.2" : Using Search to Travel

Lou's "How.2":
Using Search to Travel
by Lou Daines

"What's the flight situation?"
"Simple. There's no way on earth we're going to get out of here tonight. We'd have more luck playing pickup sticks with our butt-cheeks than we will getting a flight out of here before daybreak."
"I guess we'll find out soon enough."
"Yeah, but by the time the airline cancels this flight, which they will sooner or later, you'd have more of a chance to find a three-legged ballerina than you would a hotel room."

~Neal & Del, Planes, Trains & Automobiles


We're finally getting somewhere now. You're brain is beginning to swell with intelligence and you're ready to start exploring. I would first suggest beginning with the SEARCH function. Depending upon your viewer, the location of the "Search button" may be in numerous places; and by numerous places I mean at the top, bottom or side of your computer display. Click the magically Search button once you have found it. Another window will appear allowing you to modify your search.


Click on the SHOWCASE tab and you should see a list of popular places to explore in Second Life. This is only a fraction of actual locations there really are but SL couldn't possible list them all in one spot. You can find less popular places by simply typing in keywords under the PLACES tab. To begin checking out different locals simply click on the region TITLE, listed in blue. Another window will appear along with a TELEPORT button. Press the button and you will be magically transported to your destination.

To better showcase SL's Showcase (he-he), let me formally introduce to you Lil'Bits. Miss Bits' favorite place to hide-out is the Search window. To her, it is a magical portal to the infinite worlds of make believe. Frolic with her through the different sims and locations that SL has to offer.

Say "Hello Lil'Bits", the Showcase-Sim-Searcher.
