Hi all,
I'm busy making a super new search engine for the site. A mobile-friendly, dynamic/interactive and fast new way to search members.
As it's so complex with many options and variables, I'm looking to get a bunch of "testers" to try and "break" the system (cause a crash, error, etc and report to me).
Assuming not everyone will read this forum topic, I'll just post the link here and let everyone who's interested test it for me. Please, please give me feedback (good and bad) and especially report errors. Also need to know how it works on various mobile phones. Thanks....

(note: If you're logged in it will automatically set your postcode plus default age range of -7 and +7 around your own age)

Hi Matt
Just had a play. only brought up 12 active male members with photos in a 100 mile radius of me (used three months option).
Seems easy enough to use tbh.
do like the fact that its all on one page with picture thumbnails.
Not sure I'm technically minded enough to "break" the system though!!!!
Matt
Fixed! I had it filtering something by mistake. Now ok for you?
Matt
So far 110 searches have been made and none have taken more than 0.3 seconds to process :-D

Now we need jp to test it lol

Monkey boy will probably set my server on fire from 1,000 miles away

It aint working on my HTC at all, but im sure it will be fine on lappy. Although i dont use search facility in this way, so not worried :)

You would use it if guy Martin was on here :-)
Matt
Who needs Guy Martin when you've got ME?

That's nice :> Good luck to all who use it x

Looks ok to me. Who you calling monkey boy? gay boy
Lindsay
Guido?? Where? Oh My, that would be a treat ... of immense proportions ... Ooooh I all giddy now!
Perhaps i should give the search facility another try ...
Matt
FIXED: Issue if you selected an advanced option, it also listed people who have "Tell you later" specified. Not what we want i think.

If anybody does happen to find Hugh Jackman, it was I who lost him ad bagsie him back

Hi Matt looks great to me though not sure it included everyone in the area ?? . Love the little pictures . I'm sure new members will like it.
Hope that helps ?
Matt
Thanks.
Double check the options. By default it searches a radius of 100 miles and anyone -7 or +7 years difference in age.
It also by default removes all those members who don't have a profile photo uploaded.
You can change the default sort order on the right hand side.

Checked it on my HTC One, I usually browse with the phone upright - portrait - the age and distance selection bars rendered all cramped up and pretty illegible.
Turning the phone to landscape makes it all render much better, nice, simple, very quick.
Matt
great thanks mate, I'll see if i can make the sliders smaller so less cramped. Looked ok on my Samsung S4 but it's a big screen and high resolution
