Comments on: Finding Your Match on Match.com: Part 4, Keyword Searches… Worth it? http://geeksdreamgirl.com/2008/09/26/finding-your-match-on-matchcom-part-4-keyword-searches-worth-it/ Geek's Dream Girl Wed, 16 May 2012 18:52:33 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: e http://geeksdreamgirl.com/2008/09/26/finding-your-match-on-matchcom-part-4-keyword-searches-worth-it/#comment-38001 e Mon, 13 Apr 2009 13:45:39 +0000 http://geeksdreamgirl.com?p=792#comment-38001 @ Art - That's one of the sucky parts about Match's search functions. They prefer you to do searches THEIR way, so they make it nearly impossible to do certain things. I prefer setting up the custom searches (described in this series) and then just reading through profiles. @ Art – That’s one of the sucky parts about Match’s search functions.

The problem I'm seeing is that when I enter two words, it is doing an "or" rather than "and" search. With an "and" search, I would expect the number of returns to be smaller for a multiple word search than for a single word search. But when you enter multiple words, the return list gets bigger, not smaller. That would indicate it is doing an "or". Thanks for the reply.

If you put in <em>cat camping</em>, you'll get people with both words in their profiles.. HOWEVER, with small words like "cat" you'll get all words that include "cat" like, oh, "edu<strong>cat</strong>ion". Try to be super specific if you're going to put in two or more keywords. @ Art Black – That’ll work, sort of. If you put in cat camping, you’ll get people with both words in their profiles..

As an example, someone who likes camping and cats. When I enter both words in the search line, it returns all who have interest in either.
