Practical applications:
(1) Getting information on classes - Let's say there's a class that you're interested in taking next term or even next year. Normally, the only information you'll get is the brief description next to the course number during registration. However, by using the custom search, you can find people within your school who are currently taking that class and ask them for their opinions by sending them a private message.
(2) Collaborate and meet up - If you need to assemble a team for a project where the members need to have a diversified set of skills, Match Me allows you to find people who are similar or different.
(3) Personal networking - Assemble a list of contacts for the purpose of academic support, business, friendship, etc. Tips for successful searches:
(1) Try entering different keywords - Users can complete their profiles using different words. For example, a user may enter the full name of his of her university, or enter an abbreviated version of the name. Likewise, university classes also have full and abbreviated names.
(2) Be more general - Sometimes being too specific may lead to zero matches. In such cases, try making your search more general and eliminate any unnecessary keywords.
