when we edit structure types we can choose between these types:

Atrium Flag Pod Stilts Bridge Frame Pole Tower
Cantilever Glass floor Pseudo pyramid Truss Chimney
Guyed mast Pyramid Truss tower Church Highrise
Revolving floor Tube Clock Hole Roller coaster
Tuned mass damper Concrete core Landing pad Sign
Unknown Cornice Lowrise Space frame Vehicle Cross brace Mall Sphere Vertical ride Dome Narrow base Stadium Vierendeel truss Exterior elevator Offshore Statue Water Ferris wheel Other Steel framing

(whatever "water" may be .... - Watertower?)

but

the Search Engine only knows these:

Highrise Tower
Lowrise Church
Stadium Other
Bridge Chimney
Guyed mast Pole
Pyramid Statue
Dome Ferris wheel
Vertical ride
Skeleton Space frame
Sphere Mall
Roller coaster
Offshore
Water tower

as Example for the Problem you just have to look at the "Standard-Bridge-Diagram" http://www.skyscraperpage.com/diagrams/?156693
on the Main-Page ( http://www.skyscraperpage.com/diagrams/ )

right now it displayed "Displaying 1 to 25 of 6764 structures" :O
but 5 of those first 25 are "non-bridges" .....

and i doubt we have 6941 Tower in the Database .... http://www.skyscraperpage.com/diagrams/?3461011.0

most of those "special-Diagrams" make this mistake !

any chance to fix that?

I think with Dylan's new search system (set to debut soon :D) everything will be worked out.

This will all be fixed with the new search system.

Some of you guys may have missed this, this is the new search system I am working on, http://skyscraperpage.com/diagrams2/search/

The search form is really big because I havn't bothered to deal with it yet, and there are still some logic-situations to fix, but generally it works.

Cool - a lot of options in that new search system.
Just off the top of my head - overe there on the top with different drawing options - is it possible to include "Buildings without drawings).?
Oh - and I'm sure you're aware of that - but when you get to diagrams - there's no button "next" :)

I did try to include an option for buildings without drawings, but it wasn't working for some reason. We do have this type of diagram right now though, http://skyscraperpage.com/diagrams/?blank , but it doesn't work through the search form.

This type of thing may be better as a list of buildings, rather than a diagram, because there are no drawings! Just some more things for me to work on.

Great. I have to save that link somewhere just in case.
And - Oh yeah - it WOULD be better as a list.

Yeah- it would be better in list format.
