I have a 96m lot I use as a landing zone. It is owned by one group while the area around it is owned by another. Both are my groups. The 'show in search' box is grey out on the 96m lot. ideas?

Yep. Per http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/How_can_I_make_my_land_appear_in_the_Places_tab_in_Search%3F the minimum size is 128sq.m.

Appreciate the quick response. I figured there was a minimum and did purchase an add'l 32M from my other group for a total of 128... HOWEVER, it STILL didnt allow me to show in search (yep, re-logged just in case). Instead of nickel-diming myself with small transfers, I transferred enough for a total of 176M. That worked. I am not sure if the lot size needs to be greater than 128, but all I can say is 176M works.
Thanks again.

If you ever want to have Events, and you want your landing zone to be the teleport point listed for the Event, the minimum lot size on which to list an Event is 512 sqm.

The minimum size is 144m

I think they programmed > 128; and not >= 128; next parcel size is 144m² then (128+16m²)

It can take 2 days or so to show, it doesn't necessarily show up instantly like it used to. I've bounced around alot in the last couple of months, and I've noticed it's taken about 2 days before it shows up in search 'all'. It does seem to show up in search places quickly, and classifieds as well show up right away, but search all results that return location hits (the street sign icon) take about 2 days for the system to catch up with the parcel and read through all the object names/descriptions and build the return for that link.

Created http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SVC-5148, more as a way of documenting this anomaly where people might find it than with any urgency that it be fixed.
