Searching

Find a member by name, or search profiles, pictures and videos by location and other criteria, and save your searches.

To find a profile by name, go to Search in the main menu, enter his name (or part of it) in the Search by Username box on the left, and click Go:

The Search by Username box

All other searches can be for profiles, pics or videos.

You can search for members in any location. By default the location is your current location and the distance is 'any', so the whole world. To search for members in a specific location, click Set a location and follow the instructions for setting a location

Setting a location for a search

Once you have set a location, it appears on the page above the Set new location link. You will need to set a distance from that location here too. If you live on a country border that is not easy to cross, you can restrict the results to the same country by selecting 'this country only'.

There are a whole host of other criteria on this page which you can set. You can tick as many or as few as you like but remember, each additional selection will reduce the number of results.

Any search can be saved. Free members can have one saved search, and supporters can save ten:

Saving a search

To save a search, enter a name for it in 'save this search'. That name will appear in future under 'my saved searches' which can be used not only on this page, but also to refine any of the built in searches available in the main menu ('search with', at the top of those pages). So for instance, if you save a search where you have selected an age range of 35-50, you can refine all the main menu built in searches like nearby, online etc. to your preferred age range.
