There are many reasons why a match may not return what you're looking for, as many channels do not provide detailed information in their default (public) profile, and many of these fields allow free-text input in several languages - and this may be difficult to match precisely. For instance you may have better results finding somebody in the USA with 'country=u' (along with some odd channels from Deutschland and Bulgaria and Australia) because this could be represented in a profile as US, U.S.A, USA, United States, etc...
|
|
|
|
Future revisions of this tool may try to smooth over some of these difficulties.
|
|
|
|
Requests may be joined together with 'and', 'or', and 'and not'.
|
|
|
|
Terms containing spaces must be quoted.
