Last updated September 23, 2024
The Lobby's search function is a powerful tool for finding events, groups, members, and other relevant content. This guide will show you how to use the search function effectively.
Search Basics
- Locate the search bar: The search bar is typically located at the top of the The Lobby website or on the dashboard.
- Enter your search query: Type in keywords related to what you're looking for. For example, you might search for:
- "Networking events in New York City"
- "Software development groups"
- "Marketing professionals"
- Use specific keywords: More specific keywords lead to more targeted results.
- Multiple keywords: You can use multiple keywords separated by spaces to refine your search.
Search Filters and Sorting
- Advanced filters: Some search functions may offer advanced filters to narrow down results based on factors like:
- Date: Find events or content published in a specific time frame.
- Location: Search within a particular city, region, or country.
- Categories: Filter by specific topics or categories.
- Sorting options: You can typically sort your search results by:
- Relevance: Displays the most relevant results based on your keywords.
- Date: Orders results by the most recent first.
- Popularity: Ranks results based on user activity or engagement.
Additional Tips
- Use quotes: Enclose specific phrases in quotes ("") to search for those exact terms.
- Exclude keywords: Use a minus sign (-) before a keyword to exclude it from your search. For example, "marketing -digital" would exclude results containing the word "digital."
- Explore the search results: Carefully review the search results to make sure they align with your needs.
- Be patient: The search function might take a few seconds to process your request and display results.
