Have you ever been interested in a post on Searchfunder and want to find more like it? You can search or you can play tag.  Here's how:

SEARCHING

1) Click the search posts field on the Timeline page.

 


2) Insert a search term.  Use quotation marks to search for an exact phrase or multiple word tag.  Without quotes, the search will capture every article that uses any word in the search.


For example, "Searchfunder Interview" yields interviews done by Searchfunder. ~ Karen



As another example, "#getting funded" yields articles tagged #getting funded.  



TAGGING


1)  When you scroll to the bottom of a post, you can click on its tag to find other articles under that tag.  





HOW TO TAG


Posts are most beneficial to the community when they have been tagged.  Thus, we recommend providing at least 1 tag for each post.  When you create a new post,  you will be given a variety of tag options.  (Searchfunder member>> Searchfunder member


There are general, process, searcher-type and geographic tag designations.  To reduce tag clutter, it's important to tag articles with their most appropriate tag(s).  Generally, most posts will have no more than 2 or 3 tags. 


Here's some guidance to help you: 

  1. 1) Searchfunder member Due to their time sensitive nature, conferences, happy hours and meet-ups should be tagged only under networking, even if the expected content covers a variety subjects.   We also recommend creating an event on the right of your Timeline.  Here's the Searchfunder memberon event creation. 

  2. 2) Tip for the week = Contains helpful instructions on how to use Searchfunder.com

  3. 2)  Searchfunder member: Only use searcher-type tags when the post is specifically about that type of searcher.  For example,  you could use the "#self-funded," "#traditional" and "#women in search" tags for a post about the pros and cons of starting a self-funded versus traditional search as a woman.

  4. 3) Searchfunder memberSearchfunder member: Only use geographic tags when the post is specifically about that geography.  Continuing with our example, suppose our female searcher is particularly asking about conducting each type of search in Brazil.  Then, it should be tagged with that geography.

  5. 4) Acquisitions = Because everything on Searchfunder relates in some way to an acquisition, we reserve this tag to celebrate acquisition announcements. We look forward to the day when you get to use it!


  7. Thus, our hypothetical post is the rare situation where 4 tags are used to cover the process, searcher-type and geography.
