Matchmaking

The matchmaking is based on 2 profile questions:

• • gender
• • birthdate

Example: you are logged in as female user. In your profile you have specified that you are looking for male. When you visit My matches page, system will:
Check whom you are looking for. In our case you are looking for males > system will find all male users.
Check whom those found male users are looking for.
If male user is looking for male - this will be excluded from matchmaking process, since you are female user and you don't match their looking for value.
If male user is looking for male - this user will be included into further filtering process, since you do match that user's Looking for value.
At this point system found all male users who are looking for females.
System checks whether those male users match you by age and whether you match them by age.
As a result, system pulls the list of only relevant male users. That is the user list you see when you click My Matches
If the user did not fill match profile questions, the system checks the, this is unimportant box automatically. In this case all values for this profile question will participate in the matchmaking.



Users can see their matches on the My Matches page. They can sort the members by newest or most compatible. The matches are also available on the Dashboard page.
Users can also view the compatibility degree on the profile view page.

Quick Search

Quick search is aimed at providing site users a simple way of getting to search results without any restrictions. Functionality behind quick search is not attached to authentication data.
Thus, quick search form doesn't know anything about searcher: both guests and logged in users are treated equally as “visitors”.
Therefore quick search form, unlike advanced search, always allows any visitor to select his or her gender.

Advanced Search

Advanced search form is aimed at providing user an ability to find users based on wider range of search criteria. Functionality behind advanced search is attached to authentication data.
If logged in user is doing advanced search, system automatically fetches user's gender from his or her profile. Therefore logged in user is not allowed to select their gender.

Search logic
Both quick and advanced searches involve two parties:
searcher - person who does the search.
Searchee - person who is being searched for.

User Search plugin is designed in a way to bring search results that meet interests of both searcher and searchee.

What happens when user hits "Search"?
System checks which gender searcher selected for “Looking for” field.
System finds all users who match searchers “Looking for” value.

Outcome: raw search results. Raw search results are not yet visible to searchers and include list of potential searchees.

System checks what gender searchee selected for “Looking for” field in their profile.
System checks what is the gender of searcher.
If searcher's gender meets “Looking for” value of searchee » this searchee is placed into secondary search results.
If searcher's gender doesn't meet “Looking for” value of searchee » this searchee is excluded from secondary search results.

Outcome: secondary search results. Secondary search results are not visible to searchers.
System checks whether secondary search results meet rest of the search criteria such as age, location and anything else that was selected on search forms.
Outcome: final search results. Final search results are visible to searchers.
