Refining your search
Some keywords in the search bar may produce non-creature results. To eliminate those you can add a category/label control in the search bar. An example here is the word "eagle". This produces results for all items where the word "eagle" appears, even in accommodation names that contain the word "eagle". To search only for category/label birds add the following as an example "eagle label:Birds". Note that the first character after "label:" needs to be in capital letters.
