Search for members

Watch this tutorial to understand how to search for members.

Get started:

Please note: processes and wordings may differ slightly on your platform.

You can search members from both the members stream (found on the top bar on larger screens or within the main menu and will look something like '809 members') or from the search pop up (use the 'search' link on the top bar).

  • Type a keyword into the search box to search.
  • You could search by a member's name or a keyword like 'care' or 'volunteer'.

It's best to search small terms, as searching 'I am looking to help' will search that complete sentence. It's not likely that many member profiles will have that sentence. Searching 'help' will produce anything with that word so you'll have more results.

  • If you type a filter name, it will automatically apply it.
  • Open 'search options' to see all the filters and check the tags you want, and/or to search by badges.
  • Use the 'Best Match' button to display all members that match your skills and interests.

For this to work, you will need to have set your Best Match within your dashboard. Visit your dashboard, then 'your account' and 'edit Best Match'.

  • Select a member tile to view their profile.
