Search function – show each members “About Me”description in search results?

[Michael_Admin]

I have made a slight change to the way search results are displayed, each member now includes their full “About Me” description in the results list.

Anyone find this helpful? Or too much information? It basically saves you having to click each avatar in order to read their About Me.

Let me know what you think, if it’s useful I will keep it, if not I will switch it back to how it was.

PLEASE NOTE: At the moment, the formatting info (color info/text size etc.) is being included in some descriptions, rather than just plain text. This will be corrected.

Yes! This is a good feature. Thank you 🙂

I’m indifferent to the About Me section being in the search results. My preference would be that the Age and Looking for information be included in the search results. And it would be really nice if the profile information was enhanced to allow members to perform searches based on the Looking for values.

Jay, thanks for commenting.

– You can already get the age included with each search result by specifying the full age range (18-70) before you click SEARCH.
– Enhancing the “Looking for” options available. You mean more than male/female/male&female ?

I have avoided adding endless mini-options & criteria to the Profile pages/search options because it just over-complicates everything, unnecessarily. All details can be included in members’ About Me section, by themself. Realistically, most people will have – at most – no more than a handful of potential partners on this site, so reading through a handful of About Me’s takes no time at all.

Sorry, I was not clear on my “Looking For” suggestion. What I’m suggesting is adding two check boxes Female and Male for the “Looking For” values just like “Sex” values on the current Search Members. The reasoning for adding this additional search criteria would allow members to return search results for members that have indicated what sex their potential partner(s) need to be.

I believe this would be helpful for the following two use cases:
1. Women can explicitly search for female members that are also seeking female partners
2. Men can exclude female members exclusively looking for females partners from their searches

Jay, thanks.

But I won’t be adding that to the Search box. Extra confusion for no big payoff.

As I have said already, it’s no big deal for people to skim through a few profiles to find what they are looking for.
