Search CommonYard

Steps

1. Tap the magnifying glass at the top of the screen.
2. Type what you’re looking for — a topic, a name, a yard, a game — and search.
3. Tap a result to open it, or Join beside a yard.

Before you type

• Trending in the Yard — what the Yard is talking about now, and how much of it is still open.
• Your interests — what’s open on the things you’re into.
• Recent searches — tap one to search it again, or forget it.

The results

• Posts & activities — posts, polls, petitions, opinions and swipeys you can still take part in. Each shows its picture: the post’s photo, a swipey’s first card, or the first frame of a video.
• Completed — finished polls and petitions, with how they ended. Often the answer is in the outcome.
• Yards — yards with that name or about that topic. Tap Join to join one from here.

You don’t need the exact words

A search finds things with any of the words you typed, best matches first — the ones with the most of your words at the top. Small words like “the” and “is” are left out, and “dresses” finds “dress”.

Good to know

• Inside a yard, the magnifying glass searches that yard. If nothing turns up there, tap LOOK IN EVERY YARD.
• Still not answered? Tap Ask the yard, under the results, to post the question yourself.
• To open a yard you’re in, search its name.
