For instance you may have better results finding somebody in the USA with 'country=u' (along with some odd channels from Deutschland and Bulgaria and Australia) because this could be represented in a profile as US, U.S.A, USA, United States, etc... + +Future revisions of this tool may try to smooth over some of these difficulties. + +Requests may be joined together with 'and', 'or', and 'and not'. + +Terms containing spaces must be quoted. + +Example: + + name="charlie brown" and country=canada and not gender=female + +#include doc/macros/main_footer.bb; |
