The DanceWeb search box (on the home page, basic search page and most other pages) has now been enhanced to allow you to search entries for organisations and venues by name. You may key in an organisations name (title), web domain, email address, phone number or the surname of one of the contacts. Similarly dance venue searches can now also be made, using the name of the dance venue (dance location). There are some limitations for privacy and performance reasons, but in general you only need to key part of any of the above; the search uses "wild cards" automatically.
This feature is of low precedence, meaning that it is only activated if DanceWeb fails to find a result using the normal location and dance type or service search mechanism. The organisation search is higher precedence then the venue search. But you can force the new search by prefixing the search term with "org:" for an organisation search, or "ven:" (or "loc:") for a venue search.
Here are some working examples:
Search for the entries for pineapple dance studio organisation:
pineapple
Search for all entries for "Polish Centre" venues:
polish centre
Search for the "Arch 197" venue:
ven:arch 197
Search for organisation entries where ms Reis ian instructor:
org:reis
Try out the new feature on the DanceWeb home page.
