Q.	How do I search using MatchWords?

	A.	Search for one or more MatchWords by inserting spaces between words. Single word searches should not contain spaces. For example, if your MatchWord search is scuba diving then it will need to be all one word "scubadiving". Two or more MatchWord searches would look like this: "scubadiving tennisplayer". To ensure we find matches in your area the information from your last search is used and/or your registration zip code information.
