The search box on this site looks through published listings and guides. A little technique gets considerably more out of it, and this page is the short version of what works.
Search for the thing, not the sentence
Search matches words, not questions. Typing where can I find a sugar mummy who is serious returns less than typing sugar mummy and then narrowing. Two or three meaningful words beat a full sentence almost every time.
- Start broad, then narrow. Get a page of results first, then add a word to cut it down.
- Try the other word. Sponsor, sugar mummy and mature woman turn up different listings, because different listings use different language.
- Drop filler words. Looking, for, a, in and the do nothing for a search.
- Check your spelling. The search does not guess at what you meant.
Use the filters rather than typing more words
The search box in the sidebar lets you limit a search by category and by tag at the same time as typing. That is usually a faster route to a short, relevant list than adding a fourth or fifth word.
Browsing often beats searching
If you are not looking for one specific thing, browsing works better. Categories group listings by the kind of connection; tags cut across them. The full topic index shows everything at once, and locations is the right page when the area matters most to you.
When a search finds nothing
- Remove a word. Each extra word narrows the result; three specific ones together often narrow it to nothing.
- Use a more common word. Search matches what listings say, not what you would say.
- Browse the category instead and scan it yourself.
- Ask the desk. If something exists and you cannot find it, the desk will point you at it.
Search only covers published listings and guides. Safety reports, private messages and administrative pages are never searchable, by you or by anyone else. If you cannot find a listing that was here before, it has probably been withdrawn because it stopped being accurate.
