If this has bee acknowledged already, feel free to delete this topic.

Searching for Bottomless Pits in embark often yields chasms instead. Can this be fixed?

[Untelligent]

Aren't they the same thing?

The wiki Agrees with Untelligent:

However Im not entirely sure as I thought of Chasm as the stretch of tunnel that had a bottomless feature and a bottomless pit as the magma feature without magma.

This is true. Chasms are chasms in the shape of a river's beginning, and bottomless pits are chasms in the shape of a lava tube.

Correct.  However you can get the occational Round Chasm as well (it looks like a bottomless pit, but the map and the finder show it as a single #)

[Warlord255]

Well, maybe I'm just silly, but if they have separate names they should at the very least be differentiated in the search engine.

[i2amroy]

They should be. If you look there should be a pit option in the search, this stands for bottomless pits, as well as a chasm option for chasms.

[Warlord255]

I know, I've used it extensively. The problem is, Bottomless Pit searches often yield Chasms.
