Clicking "Advanced" will open another search box for entering advanced search requests. + +Advanced requests include + +* name=xxx +[Channel name contains xxx] + +* address=xxx +[Channel address (webbie) contains xxx] + +* locale=xxx +[Locale (typically 'city') contains xxx] + +* region=xxx +[Region (state/territory) contains xxx] + +* postcode=xxx +[Postcode or zip code contains xxx] + +* country=xxx +[Country name contains xxx] + +* gender=xxx +[Gender contains xxx] + +* marital=xxx +[Marital status contains xxx] + +* sexual=xxx +[Sexual preference contains xxx] + +* keywords=xxx +[Keywords contain xxx] + +There are many reasons why a match may not return what you're looking for, as many channels do not provide detailed information in their default (public) profile, and many of these fields allow free-text input in several languages - and this may be difficult to match precisely. 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 + + + + + + |
