Location options based on distance when searching
I sure wish there were more options available regarding Location when searching. Either one can select a zip code/city or "near me" where you'd only get very few listings if any, or you leave it blank and get the entire world where 99% are too far away. Sucks. How about using ranges like within 50 miles, 100 miles, 250 miles, 500 miles, 1000 miles, and within the sate or country depending how far you'd be willing to travel to see someone.

add filter by country to the site wide filter

I'd like to suggest a search radius feature. Yes, we can search nearby, but that can be limiting. I'd like to be able to search within 100, 200, 500, 1000 miles, or something similar.

The Online Search doesn't seem to have any particular sorting option or basis. Just random locations, so sitting that search by distance would be helpful on locating nearby hotties.

Be able to search by location

Instead of a near me option, also have a range as an option or a continent.

In a less densely populated area such as Australia, the limitation of 750km radius is irrelevant as it only picks up other users in neighbouring suburbs. My suggestion is to extend this to geographic countries, so that users in say, Sydney, New South Wales, can converse with Feabie users in Perth, Western Australia. I believe a filter for geography should also be implemented in the site-wide filtering, as Global content that is relevant in one country, may not be relevant to those in countries half way around the world (e.g. Daily Mail saga in UK). I hope you will consider this comments in collaboration with the original post.

There should be a way to change the distance on the filter. What someone else may consider not nearby, I might consider close enough to meet. This would be useful, especially since when I turn on the current filter, I only get five guys who appear. Being able to add a bit more distance to my "nearby" setting would be nice without just viewing the "global" setting.

Add a location parameter in the search: Country, Region, Department, even city ...

Having the option of seeing people in only our country :) (would be very usefull for people living near a border/multiple borders)

As Grommr already calculates the geographical distance between members, why not add "Distance within" as a search filter? I.e. "search for members within 30 miles".

The location function in the search engine works very poorly. Applying a search filter weeds out dozens of people in the immediate vicinity and hundreds in the extended region. Please give us a more useful location filter in search.

On the search page, there are adjustable sliders that let you select the age, weight and height range of members you're interested in finding. Could chasabl add one other slider that allows users to select the distance of other members from their current location, anything from say, 10 miles to 500 miles or something? This would be a great way to quickly find local members or those you're prepared to travel to within your own personal travelling distance limits.

Search need to include a distance from and put the number of km or miles. That way your not limited to just your city

My girlfriend is an ex-feabian and lives over 5000 miles away from. Please allow the whole globe to the search, too!

I don't know if this is already a feature, but I'd like to be able to filter browsing results by country. As a Canadian most of my results are in the states which tends to complicate things when it comes to dating.

I am based on Europe, most users are located in North America, it is very frustrating especially on mobile (where there a no flags) to search for users in Europe.
The right solution imo is to allow to search within distance range, allowing this values
500km
1000km
2000km
3000km
uo to 5000kmOr, even more simple, when setting the location to search, allow to set different distance ranges from location
This lack of this is my biggest frustration with your search

I would love a way to search or filter by country. In my case, to search for those just in Canada, regardless of distance. The reason is that I don't mind if someone lives far away, but still in Canada, as opposed to living nearby, but in the US.

Allow blocking of accounts outside a particular region (100 miles, etc.). This is a location-based app but people still message even though they are thousands of miles away.
