Searching by state

    Hello. We added a search option to search by City and State. Some of our members filled out their profiles with the state spelled out (i.e. Minnesota) others simply put the in the state’s abbreviations (i.e. MN). So when people search “Minnesota” none of the members who had filled in MN appear. Is there a way that these people can be included in the search?

    Hi zachstache! Did you create custom fields for city and state? If you did that would just be text fields and there will be no address logic that can be applied to them. For more information on why you should not split up the address field using custom fields, please see MemberFindMe > Help > Customization > Data Fields.

    The Address field appears as 2 text lines but actually is transparently processed by MemberFindMe into components – street, city, state, zip, country, longitude and latitude. That information allows the Search by Location box to work properly. You can then also create custom search by state pages using the shortcode:

    [memberfindme open=”!directory/rad=US_XX”]

    where XX is the 2 character abbreviation of the state. eg.

    [memberfindme open=”!directory/rad=US_CA”]

    would return the results within the state of California. For more information on search area customization, please see MemberFindMe > Help > Customization > Members directory.
