Can you search by state or town?
Posted: 8/13/2009 4:54:51 PM
I was wondering if you could search by town or state? I live about 15 minutes from New York City so a LOT of my matches, even when I filter down to searching less than 5 miles, come from Manhattan, Brooklyn, or Queens. Even though distance wise they may be close, transportation wise, they could be more than a hour away! I also feel like there's more matches in my town and surrounding towns than I'm coming up with as well. If anyone can provide any help, it's be much appreciated!!

Basic Search allows you to search by city/state. Remove your ZIP code to enable it.

The radius (5 miles, 10 miles, etc) will still be used. If you still need to narrow it down, edit the address bar in your browser to read &z_code=&miles=1&cmdSearch=, changing the miles=5 to miles=1.

or you can try clicking on your home town / state.

first click on your own view me, then click on your city / town / state that you have listed, in your case lyndhurst and New jersey, both gave me a different return on each click, i reckon the main return was the fact that most had listed New Jersey, but then again New Jersey is about the size of England, so you will have to do some trawling through the search returns.

note....the problem with specifying a tight proximity (less than 5 miles) the system might default to a state wide search, it really all depends on how many members have signed up in your locale.

let me know if my suggestion works better for you than standard searching, so i can call upon it again if need be to assist others.

good luck
