Search and you shall find!
Did you ever receive a postcard without a Postcard ID? Or perhaps one you couldn't read completely? Perhaps you submitted your request for help, but you think you could find out who the sender was based on the clues written on the postcard?
Then put your detective hat on and come check our new feature: users search!
Now you can search for users by their username, or even just parts of it! You can filter by location, when they have last used their account, if they are interested in direct swaps, etc.
This has been, for a long time, a very requested feature and we are very happy to be able to provide it to you now. Your support and feedback has been very important to achieve this, so a big thank you to all Postcrossers!
Oh! And, as always, we like to hear from you, so go run some searches and let us know how you like it! Happy Postcrossing! :)

Happy Postcrossing!
now time to try it...
another genius feature :)
for instance:
signed name: Natalia
from: Nizhny, Novgorod, Russia
any takers?
am I just missing how to do this and not get a super long list.
When I was inviting people to the Florida Postcrossing meet-up it took me forever to find people in Florida. This will help A LOT for the next one!
Thank you very much for this feature :D

9teen87 - I have no trouble searching states via
explore - countries - region (which fo USA gives state)
but i must say that my immediate thought was that, as people very rarely sign their postcards with their user name, why isn't there a search field for the sender's actual name?
I'd like to get these options too;
-a real name search (as britgirl says, postcards are usually signed with the real name)
-option to search for only males/females or all users
-search for contents in profile, for example when a person tells that (s)he has a turtle or like the Twilight books. Maybe (s)he has written that in her/his profile.
Thanks !!!!
Curious me spent some time watching profiles from people from the same hometown as mine. Quiet a few. :D
No standard web pages containing all your search terms were found.
Your search - "from Norway" "or Cathrine" - did not match any documents.
And I would still find it useful to combinate those two search functions in one!
Keep it up!
