Search facility on Marine Traffic website
« on: October 23, 2013, 07:11:12 PM »
I might be having a senior moment but when entering a vessels name into the search box on the new website it returns multiple answers, For example entering Grande Portogallo returns 253 vessels on 26 pages.

I cant seem to find a filter option to search just for that name rather than it returning every vessel with the word Grande in it.

Could this facility only be available for subscribers now?

On a personal note I thought the new Marine Traffic website was atrocious.

I persevered for a few weeks, but I'd had enough.

I deleted my account with them but they've been kind enough to leave my 500 or so images in place.

Strange Rob
If I enter "Grande Portogallo" in Search for Ships - All Ships, i get just the one (correct) hit.  If I enter just "Grande", I get 57 hits, all beginning with "Grande"

I have no problem either. The search returns the one correct vessel.
