(Another) how do you find content from Renderosity (thread) [solved]

Trust me, I wouldn't be posting this if I hadn't been scouring forums for the last hour trying to figure out what's wrong. 

So I downloaded two items from Renderosity, one of which is the Punky Girls Hair for Genesis 8 https://www.renderosity.com/mod/bcs/?ViewProduct=138626 

You can see in the screenshot where I copied and pasted all the appropriate files into the DAZ Content Library in the public documents folder where all the rest of the content is. But when I go into DAZ and look in the Content Library, I can't find it or the content from the other item anywhere. I've scoured the folders (checked every Hair folder a dozen times) and tried searching for them repeatedly, but they just don't seem to be there. Is there a step I'm missing? What's going on?

    I've sometimes resorted to opening the zip file within the zip-software window, and then exploring around in the directory paths in there to puzzle out where the product placed itself on the system.  That one looks like you should be going to People > Genesis 8 Female > Hair though.

    Of course, ten minutes later I come back and find them right away. indecision

    Though this does raise the question: If they were there all along, how come they weren't being found in the search?

    Far as I understand it, the search is based on the metadata of the content.... if the word your searching for isn't in the metadata, it doesn't find the thing.  And yeah, I've banged my head against the wall sometimes on that one, too.  >>giggles<<

    Have you tried going to Daz Studio Formats>My Daz 3D Library>People>Genesis 8 Female>Hair>PunkyGirl Hairs?

    Yeah, that's where I ended up finding it. I guess I looked everywhere BUT there.

    That’s a standard location  for hair.
