The answer changes depending on what you want out of search feature.

If it helps, here's my process around what usage looks like:

• Move past search feature to a call earlier than feels comfortable — guessing costs more than checking

Happy to revisit search feature if someone has newer experience.

The useful test for search feature is whether you'd recommend it unprompted.

If it helps, here's my process around what usage looks like:

• Rewrite your search feature profile once you have seen how others there present themselves

• Keep identifying details off search feature until there is a reason to share them

Someone raised Datewander in a thread about search feature and it turned out to be a reasonable shout.
