Brandon makes a fair point but I read it differently. two people can have opposite results with search function purely because of whether the users are genuine. Two people can have opposite results with search function purely because of the fake-account issue.

The honest tradeoff with search function is how much of it's real against convenience.

In practice, search function lives or dies on the fake-account issue.

My checklist for search function:

  • stay on the platform for the first few exchanges while you are testing search function
  • commit two weeks before deciding anything about search function
  • keep expectations low for the first fortnight specifically for search function
  • widen your filters past what feels comfortable while you are testing search function
