Last night I updated
PokeSear.ch to a more recent version. This brought several new changes that I'll try to outline here to avoid confusion.
IV scanning has been enabled. If you don't care about IVs or know what IVs are then you don't need to worry about this and you can skip to next section. Not every pokemon has its IVs grabbed as it adds extra strain to the server that I am trying to minimise. Currently, the pokemon that have their IVs grabbed are:
Bulbasaur, Venusaur, Charmander, Charizard, Squirtle, Blastoise, Pidgeot, Pikachu, The Nidoran Family, Wigglytuff, Growlithe, Arcanine, The Poli Family, Exeggutor, Magikarp, Gyarados, Lapras, The Eevee Family, Aerodactyl, Snorlax, Dratini, Dragonair, and Dragonite
Feel free to suggest others and I can consider based on the responses.
As for coloured spawn points. The more similar in hue two spawn points are, the more similar of a time they'll spawn. So when a spawn point says every hour 56:26 to 11:26 that means that a pokemon will spawn at that point at 56 minutes and 26 seconds past each hour and it'll remain there until it despawns at 11mins 26secs past the next hour.
Ranges is a new option which allows you to see the distance from a mon you need to be in order to catch it. Only shows if you zoom in a bit.
The stats page is better now. Should just load much faster and be better for finding nests.
Scans are still hexagonal but they now fill out in a different pattern. Doing this ensures that less circles fail and also that my scanning accounts don't get banned as fast.
Scanners now share out proxies much better, this will up the likelihood that a scan will be successful as before, if the proxy was banned either temporary or permanently, the scan would just not begin.
