-Advanced Directory Search
-=========================

-
-Advanced Directory Search is enabled in "Expert Mode" from your Settings => Additional features page.

-
-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]
-

-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
