Scripts? How Do I Find Them?

Feels like sometimes the Market just likes laughing at me, especially when trying to find some thing that really should be a no-brainer.

Like Scripts.

Example: Sensor Booster, attributes say can be used with the sensor booster scripts, located in the ammunition/charges of your friendly Market. Yet when I type in about a zillion variations on that particular theme I keep getting the "Nothing Matches" and I just know there is a conspiracy afoot to keep me from running scripts, as EOL would rather see me keep getting pounded by the evil denizens who lurk in lo-sec.
So my question is: How do I find these elusive scripts? Is there a magic word that I can input into a search field and all my dreams will come true?

Any help will be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Try searching for "script", all of them have that in their name.

Also make sure you don't have your market distance too limited, as they won't show up if there aren't any for sale inside the range you specified.

Use the menu.

Go ammo & charges > scripts > pick yoir script

OK, I found my problem. Apparently you can block off the search box (did not know that) with detailed searches. After reading these replies I logged in, brought up Mr. Market, entered "scripts" and got nothing. Same with Ammunition & Charges, and a few other search terms and I was getting squat. After a few obscene moments I finally noticed an "x" in the search box, I clicked on the "x" and the whole world opened up.

And now I can find "scripts".

That's just in case anybody else runs into this situation.

Thanks for all the help, fly safe and if you can't then blow something up just for the hell of it.

I think you're not understanding how to use the search box.

The search box searches for text in the name of items. So if you search "script" you get a lot of results, but "scripts" gets you no results since there aren't any items that have "scripts" in the name.

It sounds like you were using the search box to search for a category, which...isn't how that works.

"I think you're not understanding how to use the search box."

There are many things that I do not understand about Eve, this is just one. But I learn, one small piece at a time, laboriously, determined, and with faith that no, I shall never learn it all, and if I should ever become close to knowing it all then CCP, in their wisdom, will launch such a massive update that all my knowledge shall become as dusty motes in the raging wind.
