Hi,

Matching works off of a score of 100 (%), if you were to set city to 50 that would mean any user who has the same city as another would be 50% matched, the rest of the score is calculated for the fields you spread the remaining 50% over.

If a user matched off of the below example for city and hobbies only they would have a match score of 80. If they matched off of City and Age they would have a matching score of 70.

City – 50
Age – 20
Hobbies – 30

The more points you spread over more fields the more accurate the matches you will receive, theoretically you could have 100 fields all set to a value of 1 which would give you the most broadest matching possible. However, there are obviously fields that are far more important than others and they should have a value greater than 1.

The above assumes you’ve set the city as a singular dropdown select field which would work A to A, however, if you to setup the field as a multi select box you could allow users to select more than one city. This would mean a user who has city A, B, C, D, S, Y, Z could match with a user who only has city S. The result would still be 50 if they matched cities but this would allow you to have a much broader matching.
