Why am I seeing search results I don’t expect?

Our search results include everything related to your keywords within a served area because we don’t want you to miss any possibly helpful opportunities that might use slightly different words.  

We have thought about showing you only results that contain every word in your search, but then we risk you missing helpful opportunities. 

For instance, if your search "free lunch,” you might miss results like "reduced price lunch" or "summer lunch program." 

For example, when you enter a phrase like immigration law in our search box, you’ll first see opportunities that contain keywords for "immigration law". Next you’ll see opportunities with the word "immigration" OR the word "law" in them. 

After one page of relevant opportunities, you'll see opportunities that are loosely related to the original search for immigration law. Our goal is to make sure you get at least 10 opportunities on the first page that fit exactly what you're looking for.

If the results of your search don’t contain anything relevant, please email help@1degree.org. We'd love to improve One Degree with your feedback.
