  1. Overview
    The same search mechanism is used to find both chat rooms and discussions, with results being listed as either a discussion or chat room.

  2. In a Web Browser
    Select the Find Group link from the top of the main window.

  3. In Windows
    Select the Group tab in the main window, and click on Find Group. Alternatively, select Find Group from the Search menu.

  4. Search Options
    Enter a list of one or more words to search for and click search.
    1. Match All Words
      If you only want to see groups that have all these words, check the Match All Words option. Otherwise, it will find all groups that contain at least one of these words in their title.
    2. Local Hosted Groups Only
      If this option is checked, only groups that are hosted on the Local Lookinglass Babble server will be found. Otherwise, any Lookinglass Babble groups that are available world-wide will be found.
    3. Group Categories
      If none of the categories are checked, then group categories are ignored, and any matching groups are found. If one or more categories are checked, then any group found must belong to all of the specified categories.

  5. Results
    After clicking search, you should soon see a list of matching chat rooms and discussions. If there are more than 50 matching groups, then they will be displayed one page at a time. You can click on any group to visit it.
