Search by free-form text in profile bios
Would be great to be able to search for key words in profiles.
Please make profiles free-form text searchable so we can find better matches and increase connections, whether that be for hookups, friends, dates, networking, and/or relationships.
Searching by tags is a step in the right direction—thank you—but it’s too confining and unreliable :/

Hi everyone,
We have just released a new feature called tags! We have tags that cover a variety of interests and intos and will be releasing more as we hear your feedback! We believe this will allow our users to more easily find and connect with others who are interested in the same things.
This feature is currently available in the US, but soon to be worldwide! You can find out more information about the feature here: https://help.grindr.com/hc/en-us/articles/1500011370182--My-Tags

And by "profile bios" I am referring to users' "About Me" section, in case anybody needs clarification on that*

True. Perhaps just have a name search function and leave the rest to the filters which are already managed

The problem with this is you will then have profiles/people coming up with keywords and very soon cliques/groups/etc are made.
No different than searching by race/ethnicity -

I voted for this last year and it still hasn’t been implemented. It should be a feature for unlimited users.
Why doesnt grindr listen?

Bots don't need free form text to find you: they aim for every profile they can see. For non-bots, those who wouldn't want to be found via profile text criteria can just leave their profile empty.

It is beyond stupid that Grindr still has not made this happen. Also WTF are the tags for if we can't search using that criteria? I sent in a support request asking about this and the answer was less than satisfactory. They acted like it's totally normal to have features in a profile that can't be searched. I PAY for this app so I expect better quality. Otherwise, why bother anymore?
