''Part of the [[Using the iOS app|Loopa iOS app]] guide.''
The iPhone app has three separate searches in the community, each for a different job. All three are part of Loopa Basic.
== Search everything: people, threads, replies and articles ==
Open '''Community › Forums''' and tap the '''magnifying glass''' in the top right. The '''Search''' sheet opens with a field reading "People, threads, articles". Before you type it says "Find people, forum threads, replies, and knowledge articles."
Type at least two characters. Results appear as you type, in up to four sections:
- '''People'''. Members, with their avatar and @username. Tap one to open their profile; see [[your-public-profile|Your profile and other members' profiles]].
- '''Forum threads'''. Matching threads. Tap one to open it.
- '''In replies'''. Replies that match, each with a snippet and the title of the thread it is in. Tap one to open that thread.
- '''Knowledge'''. Articles from this help library. Tap one to read it in the app.
If nothing matches, the sheet says there are no results for what you typed. There is no close button: swipe the sheet down to close it.
Search on iPhone has no filters, no saved searches and no alerts. Those are in a browser; see [[search|Search]].
== Search one forum ==
Inside a forum, pull the thread list down to show a field reading "Search <forum name>". Type at least two characters and the list shows matching thread titles from that forum only. Clear the field to go back to the full list. See [[forums-on-ios|Forums on iOS]].
== Find a person to add as a friend ==
'''Community › People › Friends''', then the person-plus button, then '''Search by username'''. This search matches '''usernames only''', never names, email addresses or phone numbers, and it finds only people whose Discovery settings let them be found. It is how you send a friend request. See [[friends-and-following|Friends and following]].
To add an accountability partner, use the username search on '''Add a partner''' instead; see [[buddies|Accountability partners]].
