Easier searching for members matching multiple criteria
Occasionally, you need to locate people by multiple criteria. For example, they both live in some area and they joined before some date. The refine search controls provide this, but they’re a bit long-winded for this case. So now, there’s a short-cut: the different kinds of searches in the Search More menu have tick-boxes to do this particular narrowing down of results directly, by searching only within the results already found rather than the whole database.
