Search & Suggestions
Great! Now that you have the new Search turned on, you'll notice that we've moved a few things around.
The "Find" and "Near" search bars have been consolidated into a single search bar.
You'll also notice that you are now able to toggle between searching for Individuals, Branches, and Companies from a single dropdown making switching back and forth a breeze. You'll also find options for State & County Search in this list.
When you click inside the Search field, you'll notice that we will present you with a Suggestion dropdown.
- Search Current Location: Search around the area where you are located. This does require you to allow Location Services in your web browser.

- All Filters: Quickly access the Filter Menu.
- Recent Searches: View a list of your most recent searches.
Once you start typing into the Search bar we will begin to show you suggestions to help guide you in your search.
As an example, you can now type a statement like "Branch Managers in San Clemente" to view all branch managers in that area.
You can also type in Company Names, NMLS IDs, Names, Cities, and States.
To access Filters, you can click on the "Add Filter" button to view a menu of all available filters you can apply to your search results.
Let's run a search and see how we can start applying filters to our results.
Applying Filters to search results
You'll find we've added a number of new filters that you can apply to your search results to dive deeper into analytics.
In this section, we will search for individuals in a City and stack multiple filters to the results to narrow down a list.
1. In the Search bar lets type in a city and state like "San Clemente, CA"
2. In the suggestion dropdown click "San Clemente, California" in the "Locations" section to run the search and display the matching results. Let's now click "Add Filter" to stack additional filters on top of our location filter.
3. Click on the name of the filter to view additional parameters that you can set. In this example, we want to apply a "Volume" range to our results.
You can enter a custom range like "10 - 80" or "10m - 80m" or use the slider below to set your volume range and click "Apply".
You'll see the filter applied to the top of the results page. You can also make additional changes to the filter by clicking on it.
To add additional filters, simply repeat these steps and add any amount of different filters to your search results.
Additionally, you can drag filters in the filter list in an order that makes the most sense to you and filters you find yourself using often.
