Whether you need one super-smart search with multiple filters, or a multitude of searches with simple filters, Search Buddy makes it easy for staff to manage, and even easier for people to use.

Now searching with or without a map

Search Buddy has come a long way in the last year; no longer tied to a radius plotted to a map (although it still does that too), Search Buddy can use any data in iMIS with an address (think people, organisations, events, properties) and present it beautifully and simply.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need technical skills to implement Search Buddy?

No. You do not require any technical skills or coding knowledge to use the robust features of this App. It’s driven by iMIS IQAs queries and backed by a simple and intuitive interface. Most of the settings and customisations can be done by selecting, drag-and-drop, and filling the fields.

Do we have to use Google Maps, and use the radius search?

Not any more! Search Buddy now comes with an option to hide the map and search without the radius option enforced

What is the local scope, and regional coverage of Search Buddy?

Search Buddy allows you to search within a specific radius. It comes preloaded with the zip and postal codes, along with localities, suburbs, cities, and states. Search Buddy supports radius searches in the USA, UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.

Can I create my own results display formats?

Yes, in addition to the three standard layouts built-in, Search Buddy has a ‘Custom’ option so you can create your own layouts with HTML

Will Search Buddy work on smartphones?

Search Buddy is fully responsive. It will work smoothly and with full functionality on all devices including laptops, smartphones, and tablets. All results display formats would be available on any of these devices.

Can I rank the results, or use different displays for different contacts?

Yes, we have clients offering premium listings, badging specialities or accreditations or using colours to identify different contact types.

Can we randomise the search results?

Yes – there is a toggle that randomises the search results.

Can we tell members how many times their record has been viewed?

Search Buddy Referral not only allows you to tell members how many times their listing was clicked on, but also comes with the capability to connect the searcher to the member via a form. And, we can even tell members what filters the contact used in the search to find them!

Why did you change the name of Radius Search to Search Buddy?

Because the radius component is no longer necessary. Search Buddy is way more powerful now. And we wanted Content Buddy to have a friend!
